What if natural language really is the new programming language? We’re designing the future of end-user programming, and now, we’re looking for curious #computerscience minds to join us in making it happen.

My talk from the Haskell Ecosystem Workshop is out, and it’s already being quoted! Here, I make the case that Haskell is the best target for LLMs to generate (link below)

[The Haskell Interlude @HaskelInterlude]

In this episode we learn about @AndrewDGordon's work including the origins of (>>=), introducing lambdas in Excel, and delve into his current work at Cogna using AI to allow non-programmers to write apps using natural language.

[Satnam Singh @satnam6502]

A fabulous interview with the inspiring @AndrewDGordon where he makes a compelling case for developing software from natural language prompts, something he puts into practice at Cogna. An inspiring career spanning the Haskell bind operator; lambdas in Excel; to LLMs for no-code software. A great @HaskelInterlude interview by Sam and @tritlo.

Highlights from the #LAFI2025 workshop at #POPL2025 in Denver, where we had an amazing program at the intersection of programming languages, probabilistic and differentiable programming, and applications! https://t.co/nhtOJRIH83

I am especially happy for @HerrDreyer and @natefoster who have become ACM Fellows this years. Hugh congratulations Derek and Nate!

[Andy Gordon @AndrewDGordon]

@HerrDreyer @BenardDreyer Oh no. I'm so sorry for your loss @HerrDreyer .

Is a great time visiting the great @PLRG_bristol on Monday. Fascinating to hear about their latest research with LLM-based translations, provenance tracking in the Fluid language, Haskell, and much more!

[PLRG :: Bristol @PLRG_bristol]

Thank you to @AndrewDGordon for joining us on Monday, and treating us to his "Requirements are all you need" talk!

This is interesting to read about the #impact of #Excel on normal people - #spreadsheets are important culturally, like the arrival of the internet. A #citizen #computing tool https://t.co/lDKW7qwb7W

[Tomas Petricek (find me on BlueSky) @tomaspetricek]

I spent most of September making web sites, so that I can tell you about all the cool things happening in Prague at @matfyz around programming languages and systems!

👇PhD and post-doc opportunities, reading group, courses and much more!

[Andy Gordon @AndrewDGordon]

Astonishing musicianship tonight by Philip Glass Ensemble at @CambridgeCornEx Fabulous retrospective including Glassworks

[Andy Gordon @AndrewDGordon]

Looking forward to the Philip Glass Ensemble in Cambridge: https://t.co/tdxE5LTJfT He's been active since 1964!

[Andy Gordon @AndrewDGordon]

This is best video I've found so far on technical contributions by Grace Hopper, especially FLOW-MATIC first go at stylised English as a programming language: https://t.co/vgzeUnDLCh

We are #hiring engineer interns at Cogna. These are 16 week posts working on our synthesis pipeline. Idea for research students working on code analysis, synthesis, verification, or AI for code. Experience life in an AI startup in London! https://t.co/dG5Xo2oVi8

[Atılım Güneş Baydin @atilimgunes]

Calling all PL enthusiasts! Matthijs Vákár (Utrecht Uni) and I are organizing LAFI 2025 at #POPL2025. If you’re working on differentiable programming, inference algorithms, PL for AI, this is your venue!
