Presentasjon av BLDL på norsk

Bergen Language Design Laboratory (BLDL)

Language provides us with means of expressing ideas, as well as a vehicle through which ideas evolve.

The Bergen Language Design Laboratory is dedicated to experimenting with programming concepts and providing these as tool-supported language constructs. Read our full charter here.
