one thing that changed that you can see in a demo, that it's speech recognition paired with a neural network. He doesn't have to say "write titanic = titanic.dropDuplicated()" he just says, "drop duplicates from titanic" so you "in theory" have to write less. It probably falls apart when you have more complex things to write and then you have to fallback to speaking it out word for word, but it is an interesting development
- xigoi 4y agoThere is a reason we don't have many programming languages where you can say “drop duplicates from titanic”.
- arez 4y agowhat's the reason?
- xigoi 4y agoNatural language is ambiguous and doesn't represent nested structures well.
- tlb 4y agoProgramming languages need to be unambiguous, but voice interfaces to them don't have to be. With a voice interface, you can say something vague, see what it gets translated into, and either click Run or edit it.
