Programming languages are created by humans, but they take on lives of their own. They are constantly evolving, shaped not only by people’s intentions but also by powerful internal forces that discourage certain ideas and encourage others. They are also fiercely debated because they are more than mere tools. So what exactly are they? Join us for a live lecture by Vitaly Bragilevsky, Head of the Rust Ecosystem at JetBrains, member of the Rust Commercial Network Steering Committee, former university lecturer, and author of Haskell in Depth. In this lecture, we’ll discuss programming languages in general: 🔹 How programming languages evolve. 🔹 Recent language design trends and emerging features. 🔹 How programming languages will survive in the age of LLMs. Choose your primary language to find your IDE → https://jb.gg/roav04 #ProgrammingLanguages #SoftwareEngineering #Kotlin #Rust #AI #LLMs #GenerativeAI #Coding #Programming #Developer #ComputerScience #LanguageDesign #Compilers #SoftwareDevelopment #TechTalk #AIProgramming #JetBrains
