@robotbuilder IBM tried a few 'natural' language languages back in the 70's. They worked ok for non programmers, didn't do much for programmers though.

@mrremedy I spent a summer at Westinghouse and for part of it was assisting a fellow debug a pipe line computer. It was all relays and the way he debugged was to listen to it. My job was cleaning the relay contact that was dirty thus causing the problem. He was seldom wrong! One of the most amazing things I ever seen.

@zander Wow, that's scrary, that he was there so long that he could diagnose a problem just hearing the clack sequences.   Wow.  Kind of reminds me back when I had a secretarial pool.  The one with the most tenure could tell if any of the other gals were not working on their assigned tasks.   Them were the days...
