An accessibility intersection that intrigues me:
* Per @pgbovine, non-native English speakers find heavily English-influenced programming syntax hard to learn pgbovine.net/non-native-eng
* Folks with visual and/or motor impairment may want a speech-to-text-friendly way to code

I found out there's been a bit of work on developing a spoken programming language: cs.unm.edu/~luger/resumep
... but of course it's *heavily* dependent on English as the language of speech

I wonder if it would be possible, and what it would mean, to design a [human-]language-agnostic programming syntax using one's voice, or other modalities of expression other than typed symbols (e.g. gesture, physical object manipulation)?
