Programming should be accessible to all software developers, regardless of physical disability. Read about what the Scala Center and its sponsors are doing to help make the Scala compiler easier to use for blind and partially-sighted developers:https://scala-lang.org/blog/2018/03/19/accessible-scala.html …

Love this. It may also makes the errors clearer for people who may not know the syntax well yet.

I'm not a Scala guy -- I'm a Swift and Rust guy -- but I would *love* to see Scala really lead the way here, and demonstrate a path for other languages to follow.
-
Thanks! I hope it can, and totally agree with it being an example for other languages!

Aside from general conciseness in error messages, what actual changes are being made to Scala? Seems like most of the advances would come from the screen reader being more aware of what it’s reading, no?
-
Yes, as a first step there will be a "mode" for running the Scala compiler which produces output that's better for the screen reader.

I've been told of blind developers that they tend to develop absolute recollection of code they've worked on, and are able to comprehend synthetic speech at rates that would sound to sighted folk like the buzzing sound of a mosquito.
