Blueprint for the Brain
How can three pounds of jelly inside our skulls enable us to do everything that makes us human? For centuries, scientists have been fascinated and puzzled by the mysterious workings of the brain. Now, for the first time, they can re-create in the computer the shapes of every one of the billions of nerve cells that make up our brains— the component parts of the intricate neural circuits that allow us to move, see and hear, to feel and to think. Armed with this new tool, scientists are begin

Julia | Lang.NEXT 2012 Julia is a dynamic language in the tradition of Lisp, Perl, Python and Ruby. It aims to advance expressiveness and convenience for scientific and technical computing beyond that of environments like Matlab and NumPy, while simultaneously closing the performance gap with compiled languages like C, C++, Fortran and Java. Most high-performance dynamic language implementations have taken an existing interpreted language and worked to accelerate its execution. In creating Julia
Andrei Alexandrescu: Three Unlikely Successful Features of D Designing a programming language has a strong subjective component. There are features - such as type and property inference - that many would agree are useful, subject to proper language integration. But then there are features of which utility is not immediately obvious, and that could go either way when it comes to community adoption and scaling up to real, large programs. This talk discusses three such features of D - seemingly unimportant, maybe greeted with a ho-hum by the communi
