DOI: 10.1007/s10639-021-10750-6
Abstract: The abstract structure, logic, negative perceptions, and anxiety of programming are seen as obstacles to novice programmers. The importance of educational programming languages is increasing day by day in overcoming these obstacles. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10664-018-9669-7
Abstract: Code corpora, as observed in large software systems, are now known to be far more repetitive and predictable than natural language corpora. But why? Does the difference simply arise from the syntactic limitations of programming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11023-017-9432-7
Abstract: The Lisp programming language is often described as the first functional programming language and also as an important early AI language. In the history of functional programming, however, it occupies a rather anomalous position, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0956796821000034
Abstract: Abstract Proof assistants based on dependent type theory provide expressive languages for both programming and proving within the same system. However, all of the major implementations lack powerful extensionality principles for reasoning about equality, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.221550
Abstract: Languages change over time, driven by creation of new words and cultural pressure to optimize communication. Programming languages resemble written language but communicate primarily with computer hardware rather than a human audience. I tested whether… read more here.

Effective Extensible Programming: Unleashing Julia on GPUs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems"
DOI: 10.1109/tpds.2018.2872064
Abstract: GPUs and other accelerators are popular devices for accelerating compute-intensive, parallelizable applications. However, programming these devices is a difficult task. Writing efficient device code is challenging, and is typically done in a low-level programming language.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1145/3511062
Abstract: Once a programmer knows one language, they can leverage concepts and knowledge already learned, and easily pick up another programming language. But is that always the case? To understand if programmers have difficulty learning additional… read more here.
