'''Dog''' is [[high-level programming language|high-level]], [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreted]], [[dynamic programming language]] created by [[Sepandar Kamvar]] at [[MIT Media Lab]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-10/15/dog-programming-language|title='Dog' uses natural language for social coding|publisher=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|date=15 October 2012}}</ref>.
'''Dog''' is a new [[open source]] programming language being created by [[Sepandar Kamvar]] at [[MIT Media Lab]]. It was announced in Spring 2012 and stems from the frustration faced by Kemvar with other existing languages, such as Java, and felt they made it needlessly difficult to write code that handled social interactions. It is being designed to facilitate easier creation of Social Apps. Dog is designed to facilitate programming in a more natural language sense and allow newcomers the chance to learn programming more easily.▼

About Dog, Kamvar sayssaid “I"I had to write code at a lower level of [[Abstraction (computer science)|abstraction]] than I had to think about the interactions. And so I thought it would be interesting to start writing a programming language that allowed me to write at the same level of abstraction that I think.”"<ref name=MITTR>[http://www.technologyreview.com/news/429544/new-programming-language-makes-coding-social-apps-easier/ New Programming Language Makes Coding Social Apps Easier].
