So in this case, it won't be "Natural English" that the Story compiler will generate code from, but rather "My own English." This will allow "Story" be to understood by human readers (perhaps some without any programming experience) without the ambiguity natural language would normally produce for the compiler. </pre> </div>Trevor TiernanSun, 26 Apr 2015 21:45:41 -0000https://sourceforge.netbb0a6acf38afeb8aa86c9ca7db208f3b58316fd7https://sourceforge.net/p/natlang/wiki/Background/<div class="markdown_content"><p>Several years ago in CS class I heard that programming in a natural language was impossible.
