Program comprehension is crucial in software engineering, a necessary step for performing many tasks. However, the implicit and intricate relations between program entities hinder comprehension of program behaviour and can easily lead to bugs. It is particularly challenging to understand and debug modern programming languages such as JavaScript, due to their dynamic, asynchronous, and event-driven nature.

Genomics focuses on the sequences in our genomes and how they encode for function in our cells. Predicting how sequences will be interpreted by the cell is important for identifying disease-causing mutations and for designing therapies.

Computing is increasingly embedded in objects on us and around us. And we are increasingly embedded in digital environments. These computing environments limit old but enable new input-output affordances. Utilizing these affordances requires us to move beyond traditional ways of expressing human intention.
