    The Python programming language

  • CPython is the official reference implementation of Python written in the C programming language. The historical design is documented in PEP-0339. To better facilitate updates however, design internals are now hosted in the devguide site. Source code for CPython is easily accessible via the official GitHub repository.

    The Ruby Programming Language

  • As with actual spoken languages, programming languages have their own grammar as well. I've you've read any RFCs for networking protocols you may have come across a variation of Backus–Naur form, commonly referred to as BNF. The HTTP protocol uses an augmented version of it for its standard. Other languages such as Ruby may even utilize a grammar file.

  • PHPT

    The PHP Interpreter

  • Python utilizes an instruction set intermediate built from python code. Such mechanisms are popular in languages such as Ruby, PHP, and JVM based languages. So why is this step important? In terms of portability consider a compiled C program:
