Post by: phyre on August 18, 2009, 03:57:53 PM: For God's sake, why? Ask any of the people who actually used punch cards to program computers and see if they miss it. You're alive in the middle of the transition of programming from lengthy codes & syntax to English language, so simple even a child can program a computer. I personally can't wait to see what's next.

I think a programming language in Latin would be much cooler than one in English.
