Programming Languages and Grammar Usage

Programming Language Formal Language to Specify Remarks or Takeaways


Syntax
C Backus-Naur Form (BNF) C heavily relies on BNF for
defining syntax rules in its
grammar. It is critical for
understanding compilation
in C.
Java Extended Backus-Naur Java's syntax is defined
Form (EBNF) using EBNF, which
simplifies and extends BNF.
This formalism is essential
for tools like parsers and
compilers.
Python Context-Free Grammar Python uses CFG to specify
(CFG) syntax, making it flexible
and human-readable but
challenging for low-level
optimization.
JavaScript ECMAScript Grammar The ECMAScript standard
(ECMAScript CFG) specifies JavaScript's
syntax, which is crucial for
web development and
cross-browser consistency.
Rust PEG (Parsing Expression Rust uses PEG for its syntax
Grammar) definition, providing clear
and deterministic parsing
mechanisms.
Haskell CFG Haskell employs CFG for its
functional programming
syntax, allowing concise and
expressive language
constructs.
Go EBNF Go uses a simplified EBNF
to define its grammar,
reflecting the language's
simplicity and efficiency.
Swift CFG with extensions Swift employs a modified
CFG to balance simplicity
and modern features. It
ensures safety and
expressiveness in code.
SQL BNF SQL grammar is defined
using BNF, which ensures
precision in database
queries and commands.
Kotlin EBNF Kotlin, like Java, uses EBNF
to define its syntax,
enabling modern and
expressive programming
patterns.
