Turing Programming Language (TPL) is an innovative programming language created by Ric Holt, a computer science professor at the University of Toronto in Canada. Turing Programming Language was inspired by the work of linguist Alan Turing, who was responsible for the British codeword ‘alphabet’ and for cracking the German Enigma code. Turing Programming Language is an advanced language whose syntax is much more compact than traditional programming languages.

Turing Programming Language is an abstract mathematical language similar to the formal language used in set theory, but differs in important ways. The most obvious difference is that it uses a more concise syntax with fewer infixes, which is the traditional way of programming in a programming language. Turing Programming Language is also a descendant of SP/K and PASC, which have very clean syntax and precise machine-dependent semantics.

The syntax of Turing Programming Language is very simple because Turing has devised a very simple grammar that is equivalent to the syntax of any natural language. As such, the grammar can be viewed as a model of the syntax of any natural language. The formal language used by Turing in making his grammar is called the Lambek formal language.

The grammar of Turing Programming Language is very compact, which enables it to express complicated concepts using a simpler syntax, just like any natural language. Turing’s syntax can be expressed in terms of the natural language syntax. Turing Programming Language is not only highly expressive but it is also syntactically very simple. Because of its compact syntax, there is no need for the use of an interpreter or for translating one program into another.

The syntax of Turing Programming Language is also very simple, because the programmer does not need to have the extensive knowledge of syntax needed in conventional programming languages like Java, C++, and C#. Even if he or she knows how to use syntax like these, he or she could still easily become confused while working with Turing Programming Language. One of the reasons is that the syntax is very simple, which means that programmers who are not knowledgeable with syntax like these could easily get a grasp of what is being written and what the program is intended to accomplish. Another reason is that the syntax is grammatically very simple, which means that programmers who are not adept at grammatical rules can quickly learn the meanings of words.

The syntax of Turing Programming Language is not similar to other programming languages. The major feature that distinguishes Turing Programming Language from conventional programming languages is the syntax. Because it is very compact, it has a highly limited but powerful syntactic structure and a very powerful syntax.

Programming languages are more or less designed to express a simple program, which means that when a programmer has to write a program, he or she needs to be familiar with the language before he or she can start writing. By contrast, Programming Languages like Turing Programming Language is not intending to express simple programs. They are designed to express programs by giving them different syntaxes which are used to describe a specific program’s meaning and purpose.

Because it is so concise, Turing Programming Language is very simple, so even when a programmer has to write a complicated program, it is not necessary to be aware of all the syntaxes that are used in writing a program. This is because the syntax is so simple that there is no need to be familiar with all the syntaxes in conventional programming languages. Programming languages are designed to be too rigid, which makes the program difficult to understand because a programmer cannot easily write something without knowing the different syntaxes used to define the meaning of the program.
