I finally started to take the time to develop the parser and data types for "stutter" [1], a spoken programming language idea I had for a while now.
The underlying idea is that this language is absolutely syntax clutter free and uses grammar similar to how sentences are built, so that it can be predicted and recognized much easier in noisy environments whilst being a programming language that is made for dictation (instead of typing).
I don't want this to be an esoteric idea, so I'm also experimenting a bit with the use case of embedding it into my browser stealth [2] in order to automate and schedule web scraping tasks.

- dualthro 6y agoDo you work with blind developers on building this at all? I know that HN has had a few big threads discussing the workflow for blind programmers, I would feel like this could potentially be a part of it? Assuming stutter could be interpreted to another language?
- cookiengineer 6y agoCurrently I'm the only one working on the project. I know there are probably a lot of potential applications for the language, but I still haven't written a specification and neither a parser nor interpreter that works. My plan so far is to make it embeddable with a voice recording demo, so that it can be used inside a Web Browser with their respective voice recognition APIs. The idea behind the language is that it will also embed native data types and tries to make the grammar as predictable as possible, so that the recognition can get more failsafe.
