As generative AI reshapes software development, natural language commands are replacing traditional programming syntax, but experts question if English can ever match the precision of code.
Introducing agent mode for GitHub Copilot in VS Code, announcing the general availability of Copilot Edits, and providing a first look at the SWE agent codenamed Project Padawan.
The article discusses the evolution of programming and argues that while AI is transforming the field, it is not replacing programmers. Instead, it is changing the nature of programming, requiring new skills and paradigms. The author emphasizes that programming will continue to evolve, with AI serving as a tool to enhance productivity and creativity.
A summary of personal experiences using generative models while programming, highlighting the benefits and practical applications of LLMs in productivity and programming tasks.
Guidelines for using large language models to improve Python code quality in casual usage.
Inspired by a paper published in 2017, Shae Erisson built a DIY FlowLight using Adafruit MagTag that tracks activity in Emacs. It uses LEDs and a display to warn passers-by when it’s not a good time to disturb the programmer, aiming to maintain a state of 'flow' during programming.
An exploration of advanced Rust programming concepts through a snippet of asynchronous code, illustrating the depth and complexity of real-world Rust development.

Scrapscript is a full programming language designed to be sent over the wire with type-safety in mind.
Scrapscript is a programming language that aims to solve the software sharability problem by offering a content-addressible and distributed system for managing and sharing code. It is built on the principles of using scraps (hashed chunks of code), worldwide collaborative namespace, no broken dependencies, expression-level versioning, time-travel interpreter, platform paradigm, self-documenting typed configs, and magic compression.
1. Pkl: A declarative programming language created by Apple, Pkl is built to address the limitations of static languages like YAML, JSON, and Property Lists.
2. Lax: This is a flexible and under-development programming language that aims to demonstrate that a highly loose and extensible syntax is possible without sacrificing performance or control. It runs on a virtual machine and is licensed under GPL-3.0.
3. Amber: Designed to make Bash scripting easier, Amber allows users to write Bash scripts in a high-level programming language. It uses the GPL-3.0 license, is based on ECMAScript syntax, and is a type-safe, runtime-safe language.
4. Scrapscript: Scrapscript is a programming language that aims to solve the software shareability problem by using content-addressable scraps and scrapyards, which replace traditional package management systems. It uses the MIT license and is highly modular and extensible.
5. Knowledge Graph Language: This programming language enables interaction with knowledge graphs in a straightforward manner, allowing tasks like finding connecting nodes, finding out how two separate nodes connect, and finding attributes related to a node in a graph. Pkl: A declarative programming language created by Apple, Pkl is built to address the limitations of static languages like YAML, JSON, and Property Lists. Pkl uses the Apache-2.0 license and provides great IDE integration and command line tool capabilities.
