There aren't quite as many of these as text-based programming languages, and some are more notable than others. They require a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and testing an application.

With this launch, coding education takes a significant leap forward. Large Language Models (LLMs) have excelled in text-based programming languages like Python and JavaScript. However, their ...

In July 2020, OpenAI launched GPT-3, an artificial intelligence language model that quickly stoked excitement about computers writing poetry, news articles, and programming code. Just as quickly ...
