His project lets you play simple algorithms as audio using AVR microcontrollers. Now the code work for this is very simple, but he hardware implementation is where things get interesting.

For instance, BASIC offered GOTO, a command that let you jump from anywhere in your program to anywhere else in it—a practice that could result in messy “spaghetti code.” (In 1968, Dijkstra ...

For now, the main focus of the Code Generator Beta is to allow experienced coders to not "have to work on simple stuff," Corazza said, and to "help automate basic coding tasks so you can focus on ...
