Yes, AI tools for assistance in understanding and interpreting code is an important area of research advance. Rapid development in AI-assisted coding tools is probably the aspect of the book that is in most danger of being superseded by technical…

I spent a few years coding in Lisp, so happy to discuss the way that it allows data to be structured in non-linear ways - and I think that is precisely the kind of intuition Sutherland was trying to capture. However, the memory of the von Neumann ar…

What mainly interests me here is the reflections on dimensionality of representation. "Code" in CCS is understood to mean linear streams of symbols, and the syntax specification of languages is uni-dimensional, describing the before and after, but n…

Sorry that I've had too many start-of-term duties to engage with this week's topic, but this thread triggered a fit of nostalgia, since I was first taught programming on punchcards, then spent years in assembly code before my Master's dissertation i…

Hi - I'm Alan Blackwell. This is my first time joining you guys. I've worked on things that resemble CCS in various ways, for about 30 years, most consistently in the Psychology of Programming Interest Group (which many years ago stopped doing much …
