In plain words
This project presents research on predicting JavaScript variable names and types using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). Developed by researchers at ETH Zurich, it combines an academic paper with a public poll to explore how machine learning can infer meaningful variable identifiers and type information from code structure. The work is of interest to developers, programming language researchers, and anyone studying code comprehension and automated program analysis techniques.

- ASA stab at building my own string diffing library2022 · ▲29
Took a stab at building my own string diffing JS package. I built an interactive demo for TypeIt’s website (https://typeitjs.com/build-your-own) a while back. The approach I took to handle user input necessitated a way to calculate the difference between the versions of a user’s text input. I searched around for a package to help me out and found a couple of good ones (like fast-diff), but I either didn’t really like their API or didn’t want to take on a huge new dependency. Instead, I thought I’d give it a shot myself (famous last words). I dove into it having no real formal…
Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)Mar 2026 · amoilanen.github.io · ▲65I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and then abandoned it. Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow. The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All…
