Spoken language?
Early programming was machine code or flipping switches. Then assembly. Then C, Forth or similar low-level languages.
Now many people use scripting languages, Python, Go & other high-level languages.
See the pattern? The general evolution is from machine-friendly to human-friendly. Regardless of programmer's IQ.
The logical endgame is programming your toaster with spoken commands. Or no programming at all. It'll just watch your responses to learn how you like your toast.
- usgroup 3y agoI think many cognoscenti will pick languages for their deep aesthetics. That means things like J, Lisp, Prolog, etc. Coding outside of the pedestrian languages can be a border line mystical experience. Mind expanding. Life changing. Just not in JavaScript; sorry :-)
