Titled "Mini-Lecture: Modern Code Matrix Analysis (software language research)", J. Willrich Lutalo Bsc. Msc. (Ph.D candidate at Makerere University) demonstrates with a simple 10 × 6 stochastic matrix of symbols from the English alphabet, how actual computer programs can be automatically randomly generated using machine vision, language parsers and some artificial intelligence.
This is part of on-going fundamental research in computer science and platform engineering at Nuchwezi, Makerere University and in the SLE Community worldwide.

We continue with our thorough review of important works across the Software Language Engineering (SLE) field over the years, and today, we come across a paper that made some very big claims touching on most of contemporary SLE; the "DSLTrans" paper[2].
Meet Professor Bruno Barroca!
---[Brief Bio]:
Professor Bruno Barroca is an architect and urban engineer at the Paris-Est University[1]. He is also a member of the urban engineering team at the LEESU laboratory (Water, Environment, and Urban Systems Laboratory)[1]. His research focuses on urban resilience, vulnerability assessment, and the integration of resilience objectives in urban projects, especially in areas prone to natural and technological risks[1].
He has contributed to the field of urban risk management and resilience, aiming to design towns that can better withstand various risks[1]. His work is interdisciplinary, linking geography, town planning, and regional development[1].

---[About The Paper]:
First, though Prof. Bruno appears as the first author, and with some background interest in models & visual systems [4], perhaps it's more correct to place the burden of the SLE-related science in this paper [2] on his co-author, Levi Lúcio (who has a deeper background in software engineering and has also worked as a software architect [3]).
The paper does make some useful contributions in the form of attempting to express and prove important results concerning re-write systems (of which visual transformation languages such as DSLTrans are a subset); using Graph theory formalisms, however, a lack of thorough development of the mathematical basis of the claims made in the paper imply that this work still needs be taken with a grain of salt despite looking rigorous enough by typical SLE paper standards. Definitions were written in a rush, and (informal) proofs (to formal claims) were left in sketch form.
It still is an interesting paper to read and we'll perhaps help evolve this work further...

Memories of Joseph W. Lutalo with classmates (L-R; Ssegawa, Stephen, Maurice, and JWL himself) back in their undergraduate days at Makerere.. circa 2009. That's one example of a very successful and productive study group we formed to see us to the finals with flying colours.. 🤞😁

More school/study memories from that era
So, today, after about 3 days of hard reading work, we've finished reviewing the smaller (21 pages) version of Dr. Tom Ridge's epic, foundational 2014 ACM SLE paper [3].

---[About Paper]:
Ridge's paper[3] covers his GLR-related work involving a more performant version of the P3 combinator parsing algorithm that enhances its performance by introducing the mechanism of an oracle. Ridge's new algorithm is "Mini-P3". In this paper, we also discover that in terms of performance, Ridge's algorithm was the best as of writing, for all/any-CFG (Context Free Grammar) parser, with the only potential serious competition likely to come from future attempts from anyone building a more performant (O(n^3) Earley parsing-like or better) GLL parsers that also offer a combinator parsing (parsers built out of combinations of other parsers) interface.
