I was just thinking, before reading your response, that python would suck for the blind, because of its strong preference of "beautification" of the code. So your response actually surprises me.
Do you think having braces over indentation would have helped for accessibility. Any other issues with the language syntax?
- mathgladiator 16y agoI was thinking that too, but I wagered there would be a way to give representations to white-space which act as a way of dealing with it. Although, it would seem to me that it would involve a lot of counting of white-space.
- eney 16y agoMaybe one's preference depends on whether one uses speech or braille. Although I known of some blind programmers who won't learn Python because of the indentation, some like it. Some speech users use a piano scale to show indentation. Some use editor settings that transform the source code on load so that blocks are delimited and reformat on save. The EdSharp, developed by a blind programmer, is one such editor.
