Title : On the naturalness of software Abstract: Human languages are complex, but natural language processing has been successful because most utterances are simple and repetitive. I will discuss a paper that first showed that software languages, even though they are complex, are also simple and repetitive in practice. This idea has been exploited in applications involving software development tools.
