Neuroscientists from MIT have found that reading computer code does not activate the areas in the brain used to process language. Instead, they found that it activates general-purpose neural networks ...

New research paper titled “Exocompilation for productive programming of hardware accelerators,” from researchers at MIT and UC Berkeley. From their abstract: “To better support development of ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

In May, a research team from MIT announced a new programming language, Finch. It’s designed to support both flexible control flow and diverse data structures. “Finch facilitates a programming model ...

In the US, a 2016 Gallup poll found that the majority of schools want to start teaching code, with 66 percent of K-12 school principals thinking that computer science learning should be incorporated ...
