Dynamic languages have become popular for scientific computing. They are generally considered highly productive, but lacking in performance. This paper presents Julia, a new dynamic language for technical computing, designed for performance…
Writing efficient hybrid parallel code is tedious, error-prone, and requires good knowledge of both parallel programming and multithreading such as MPI and OpenMP, resp. Therefore, we present a framework which is based on a job model that…
In this paper we propose a new approach to the description of a network of interacting processes in a traditional programming language. Special programming languages or extensions to sequential languages are usually designed to express the…
There is a vast gap in the quality of IDE tooling between static languages like Java and dynamic languages like Python or JavaScript. Modern frameworks and libraries in these languages heavily use their dynamic capabilities to achieve the…
In recent years, heterogeneous computing has emerged as the vital way to increase computers? performance and energy efficiency by combining diverse hardware devices, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Field Programmable Gate…
There are thousands of actively spoken languages on Earth, but a single visual world. Grounding in this visual world has the potential to bridge the gap between all these languages. Our goal is to use visual grounding to improve…
Embedding text in one language within text of another is commonplace for numerous purposes, but usually requires tedious and error-prone "escaping" transformations on the embedded string. We propose a simple cross-language syntactic…
Integrating visual features has been proved useful for natural language understanding tasks. Nevertheless, in most existing multimodal language models, the alignment of visual and textual data is expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel…
Code smells are widely used indicators of poor code quality, revealing structural problems and areas where improvement can be made. Although extensively studied in object-oriented languages, functional programming languages remain…
The work in the paper presents an animation extension ($CHR^{vis}$) to Constraint Handling Rules (CHR). Visualizations have always helped programmers understand data and debug programs. A picture is worth a thousand words. It can help…
The practice of programming is undergoing a revolution with the introduction of AI assisted development (copilots) and the creation of new programming languages that are designed explicitly for tooling, analysis, and automation. Integrated…
We propose a Vision-Language Simulation Model (VLSM) that unifies visual and textual understanding to synthesize executable FlexScript from layout sketches and natural-language prompts, enabling cross-modal reasoning for industrial…
Visual blends combine elements from two distinct visual concepts into a single, integrated image, with the goal of conveying ideas through imaginative and often thought-provoking visuals. Communicating abstract concepts through visual…
With the future likely to see even more pervasive computation, computational thinking (problem-solving skills incorporating computing knowledge) is now being recognized as a fundamental skill needed by all students. Computational thinking…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly advanced the integration of visual and textual understanding. However, their ability to generate code from multimodal inputs remains limited. In this work, we introduce VisCodex, a…
Even relatively simple code analysis can be a daunting task for many first year students. Perceived complexity, coupled with foreign and harsh syntax, often outstrips the ability for students to take in what they are seeing in terms of…
In today's software world with its cornucopia of reusable software libraries, when a programmer is faced with a programming task that they suspect can be completed through the use of a library, they often look for code examples using a…
Scripting languages are becoming more and more important as a tool for software development, as they provide great flexibility for rapid prototyping and for configuring componentware applications. In this paper we present LuaJava, a…
We examine "vibe coding": an emerging programming paradigm where developers primarily write code by interacting with code-generating large language models rather than writing code directly. We present the first empirical study of vibe…
Designing and implementing typed programming languages is hard. Every new type system feature requires extending the metatheory and implementation, which are often complicated and fragile. To ease this process, we would like to provide…
