I suppose that's true re: writing. But surely there's at least a better way to communicate these ideas.

Sometimes I find myself looking at the array of languages and paradigms available and thinking "that's it?" But then again, the book was invented a few hundred years ago and that's still going strong.

Maybe people will still be writing FORTRAN in 2520.

I do most of my book reading through audiobook these days.

I wonder if a programming language optimized for audio consumption that can be effectively reviewed through one's ears.

Morgan Freeman reading LISP sounds terrible and soothing at the same time.
