• Clear understanding of the major design concepts of a programming language (e.g., syntax, semantics, typing system, recursions, abstraction, polymorphic & generic features, etc).
• Clear understanding of the trade-offs between important language design goals: security, efficiency, power, robustness, and complexity.
• Clear understanding of the major linguistic differences between major languages' paradigms: imperative, functional, object oriented, & logic.
• The ability to critique and properly utilize languages from each of the above paradigms; in building desired software solutions or the design of a new language.
