AI and machine learning systems have become increasingly competent in recent years, capable of not just understanding the written word but writing it as well. But while these artificial intelligences ...

Several technical advances have been achieved recently in the pursuit of powerful quantum computers. Now, Computer scientists have made an important breakthrough in the field of programming languages: ...

When you're writing code, you're laying out instructions on what you'd like to see on the app you're building or the website you're designing. But there are a number of coding languages to choose from ...

Linguistics and computer science intertwined in the mid-20th century. Computers help linguists better understand and analyze languages and computer scientists use linguistics to advance programming.

Semantic web technology offers smarter, more efficient data searches, information sharing. U.S. Defense Department researchers are developing software that may be capable of accurately understanding ...

(Also it's not really a pyramid, it's a graph; programming languages et al. obviously rely on theoretical computer science, and theoretical CS is a branch of mathematics and as such not limited by the ...

For decades, coders wrote critical systems in C and C++. Now they turn to Rust. Many software projects emerge because—somewhere out there—a programmer had a personal problem to solve. That’s more or ...

Newer languages might soak up all the glory, but these die-hard languages have their place. Here are eight languages developers still use daily, and what they’re good for. The computer revolution has ...

I’ve been running into a lot of happy and excited scientists lately. “Running into” in the virtual sense, of course, as conferences and other opportunities to collide with scientists in meatspace have ...

Some old computer languages are destined to never die. They do, however, evolve. For example, Fortran, among the oldest of computer languages, still has adherents, not to mention a ton of legacy code ...
