Future of CodingInterpreting the Rule(s) of Code by Laurence DiverThe execution of code, by its very nature, creates the conditions of a "strong legalism" in which you must unquestioningly obey laws produced without your say, invisibly, with no chance for appeal. This is a wild idea; today's essay is packed with them. In drawing parallels between law and computing, it gives us a new skepticism about software and the effect it has on the world. It's also full of challenges and benchmarks and ideas for ways that code can be reimagined. The conclusion of the essay is flush with inspiration, and the references are stellar. So while it...2023-07-033h 01
Boston Computation Club03/17/23: The Process, Challenges, Struggles & Joys of Creating "How to Design Programs" with Matthias FelleisenMatthias is a world-class scientist and highly influential computer programmer, and also the author of "How to Design Programs", a Computer Science 101 book which takes a fundamentally different approach than prior works. Today Matthias joined us to share his experience writing that book (and its many iterations), as well as his broader philosophy on how to instruct the next generation of thinkers and builders (not to mention, programmers). This was a highly instructive and somewhat philosophical talk and we really hope you enjoy it as much as we did! To learn more about Matthias, refer here: https://felleisen.org...2023-03-1755 min

International Conference on Functional Programming 2017Super 8 Languages for Making Movies (Functional Pearl)Leif Andersen (Northeastern University, USA) gives the first presentation in the first panel, Art and Education, in the ICFP 2017 conference. Co-written by Stephen Chang (Northeastern University, USA) and Matthias Felleisen (Northeastern University, USA).
The Racket doctrine tells developers to narrow the gap between the terminology of a problem domain and general programming constructs by creating languages instead of just plain programs. This pearl illustrates this point with the creation of a relatively simple domain-specific language for editing videos. To produce the video proceedings of a conference, for example, video professionals traditionally use 'non-linear' GUI editors to manually edit each talk...2017-12-0717 minFunctional GeekeryDan FriedmanIn this episode I talk with Dan Friedman.
