Facebook researchers say they’ve developed what they call a neural transcompiler, a system that converts code from one high-level programming language like C++, Java, and Python into another.

In software engineering, code transforms from human-readable high-level languages like Python or Java into machine-readable binary (machine code). An intermediate step, bytecode, bridges ...

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.

Interpreted code is compiled into an intermediary that runs on any architecture. But this clear distinction tends to fade when you examine the exact features and potential capabilities of any ...

Programming Language Converts Laws Into 'Provably Correct' Computer Code Some legal text is so highly prescribed that it functions like an algorithm. So a team of computer scientist have created a ...

A quantum computing startup called Quantum Machines has released a new programming language called QUA. The language runs on the startup’s proprietary Quantum Orchestration Platform. Quantum ...

Hack requires Facebook’s HHVM (Hip Hop Virtual Machine) to run. HHVM is a virtual machine that compiles PHP, normally an interpreted language, into byte code, so it can run more quickly.

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 ...

In the beginning, computer programmers translated their desires into the language of machines. Now, those machines are becoming conversant in the language of their programmers. OpenAI's newly released ...
