Heron-Centric: Ruminations of a Language Designer - Weblog on language design issues, software development techniques, news, on Heron language, and similar languages like Java, C++.

Kx Systems, Inc. - Makes K, advanced vector oriented, functional language, one of the fastest application development environments (according to Bell Laboratories Benchmarking), and allows very fast processing of large datasets.

Lfyre - General purpose, compiled; high performance, expressiveness, flexibility. Many features found in other languages, and extra features: creating new operators, keywords, programming paradigms. News, download. [SourceForge]

Lightweight Languages as Software Engineering Tools - Usenix Paper discussing multiparadigm programming as part of a larger topic.

Lucid - Functional dataflow language, invented by Bill Wadge, Ed Ashcroft. Variables and expressions denote streams-sequences of data items. Input and output are streams, so a program is a Unix-style filter. Was basis for French real-time/reactive languages Lustre, Signal.
