NEWS Cyclone, a new programming language which is supposedly bug-free, has been developed by AT&T and the US-based Cornell University.
Cyclone is said to be similar to the C programming language but is much more bug resistant because it forces the code to be checked thoroughly before the developer can finish the programme.
Cyclone's bug-free claims are based on its special compiler, which is a programme that turns any programming language into code a computer's processor can understand. Once the compiler finds a human error or a problem, it can re-write the original code or suggest a new version.
Linux x86 versions currently support Cyclone and Windows platforms can also support the language by using Cywin software, which provides Unix environments for Windows.
Developers can download the language for free for evaluation purposes, but licensing depends of the content being developed.
Cyclone blows away the bugs for programmers
