Metafor: English as a Programming Language
Link: Metafor: English as a Programming Language
Hugo Liu, a researcher at the MIT, thinks about using English as a programming language because it is much more concise than any traditional programming language, and eliminates the need to learn one in the first place.
Heh. And here I was, just joking about plainscript.

This is something that has been a long time coming and should have been
accomplished long ago. I have wanted to program for a long time, but I
wasn’t willing to go through the arduous task of learning the proramming
languages that are required, that take years to learn effectively and are
an ongoing process just to keep from forgetting some of the code. This
has been very offensive to me through the years of using computers
because I am suspiscious of symbolic code languages being written so that
the general public wouldn’t be able to program and I don’t think programming should be just for the upper eschelon of intelligence. It should be for everyone. Anything else is just pure selfishness. I probably could have learned some languages but I didn’t start using computers until the year 2000. I hope this becomes a reality soon……thanks
