How so?

BASIC was supposed to be astep toward using a natural human language, and a number of Microsoft products were too.

As I said before, we've been wanting to use a Natural Human Language for programming for a long time.

Edit: adding a wikipedia reference because apparently I am the only person on the planet that has been looking for a way to use a Natural Human Language for programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_programming

Second Edit: Adding the following paragraph from the wikipedia page for emphasis

Researchers have started to experiment with natural language programming environments that use plain language prompts and then use AI (specifically large language models) to turn natural language into formal code. For example Spatial Pixel created a natural language programming environment to turn natural language into P5.js code through OpenAI's API. In 2021 OpenAI developed a natural language programming environment for their programming large language model called Codex.



Maybe you have. I would like no such thing.


Oh, and.. who are you?
