Why I use the D programming language for scripting by teleforce

The D programming language is often advertised as a system programming language due to its static typing and metaprogramming capabilities. However, it’s also a very productive scripting language. Python is commonly chosen for scripting due to its flexibility for automating tasks and quickly prototyping ideas. This makes Python very appealing to sysadmins, managers, and developers

Val: A New Language Alternative to C++, Rust by signa11

Val is a new high-level programming language that runs close to the metal. It’s the brainchild of Dimi Racordon, a post-doc researcher at Northeastern University who focuses on language design and type-based approaches for memory safety. It started as a byproduct of research she did with Google and Adobe on the Swift programming language and

Language Design Bullshitters by clerno

Inevitably people will ask “what language should I choose for my compiler?”. The answer is really: “you can use any language, so all things being equal, pick one you’re good at.” Of course there are caveats: You want it to go really fast? Then C is better than Python. Are you making a DSL? Then

Code as Policies: Language Model Programs for Embodied Control by fanf2

Code as Policies: Language Model Programs for Embodied Control Abstract Large language models (LLMs) trained on code-completion have been shown to be capable of synthesizing simple Python programs from docstrings [1]. We find that these codewriting LLMs can be re-purposed to write robot policy code, given natural language commands. Specifically, policy code can express functions
