OT: Is there a more English-like Programming language thanTranscript?

[David Bovill]

Good points there - but ny chance of keeping replies impersonal?

There is one reason pointing to a disadvantage of purely natural language
like syntax - and that is the need to maintain and sport bugs and changes. I
am not sure yet how important this is - but I can see the need to very
quickly scan through lots of code and spot errors and differences - this is
not compatible with long heavy paragraphs of text - and certainly not legal
"code" - rather it makes me thing of the syntax of poems.
