Abstract

There is no single almighty programming language that suits all the purpose. As a result, often, we have to study several programming languages in several programming paradigms. Learners can be overwhelmed by inessential matters such as syntactical issues. This paper presents a family of Web-based graphical mini-languages especially designed for teaching several programming paradigms. These mini-languages are implemented by a functional language Objective Caml and are equipped with a graphical library to support teachers to create graphical teaching materials for explaining various concepts behind the design of programming languages.
