I imagine it would be hard for a blind programmer to program using Python, Coffeescript and other language where white space plays important part. Can anyone give more insight about this?
- cannona 14y agoPython is one of my favorite languages to program in, but the white space thing was an issue for a while. Fortunately, I found an editor that will work well with my screen reader and will tell me what level of indenting I'm at, so it's now just a mild annoyance. However, when browsing on the web or elsewhere outside my editor, I do find myself occasionally counting spaces if it's not obvious from the context what indentation level a particular line is at.
- neurostimulant 14y agoCan you elaborate on the tools you use? What IDE and screen reader do you use? Also, what tool do you use to type code with? Braille keyboard? I really interested to learn about what kind of setup that works best for blind developer.
- richardw 14y agoWhat improvements can you think of for this? For example, parallel sound hints of other aspects of the context, like a note at a certain frequency to indicate indentation, or using stereo to indicate the position of a word?
