Machine programming, which automates the development and maintenance of software, is becoming supercharged by AI. During its Build developer conference in May, Microsoft detailed a new feature in ...

The choice of programming language is not a simple one, and in the end it may not even be the most important one either. As pointed out by Luiz Eduardo Le Masson, data science leader at Stone Co.: ...

A programming language lets the programmer express data processing in a symbolic manner without regard to machine-specific details. See how many programming languages are there?.

The high-level programming language was created to eliminate machine dependency. Languages such as COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC and C were designed to run on many different computers.

This is why I’ve long argued that BASIC is the most consequential language in the history of computing. It’s a language for noobs, sure, but back then most everyone was a noob.

Not necessarily for the data-science and machine-learning communities built around Python extensions like NumPy and SciPy, but as a general programming language.
