Natural Language Programming Code generated from english
Natural Language Programming There's another article at About-AI concerning Natural Language Programming, which discusses the use of english as a programming language. Like other rational people, I'm very sceptical about the entire concept. Large programs that are written explicitely (with standard languages such as C++ for example) are almost never perfect, so how can an implicit, ambiguous natural language succeed at all? Programs will potentially be swamped in bugs. A small step towards this goal has been taken by HumanML, an XML like expansion for the web intended to convay information semantically rather than in a specific language. As a consequence, things such as humour would not be lost in the translation. See Programmers to encode human behaviour on New Scientist. | Alex J. Champandard 930 posts.
