What programming language is most english-like?

[Jacklack3]

And don't say AppleScript, i have a windows 7.

 

[Jack_Sparrow]

Python or Javascript i'd say

 

[Jacklack3]

javascript? python? ruby? really most languages in that category are equally high-level

Well i mean if you were telling someone

Set cakes to 5

if cakes is over 100 then
print Yay!

if cakes is clicked by mouse then
add cakes with 1

Then you're looking for Python, or Scratch.com

The concept you want to look up is "natural language programming". At present time it is more of an ambition than anything truly usable and probably will be for decades to come. On the other hand with high level languages you see very real work being done all the time (python is indeed the glue that holds modern computing together) and even if you have to sit there and piece together syntax/remember which style of brace to use you can still do real work. Anything simpler I usually find to be too restrictive to do anything useful, some kind of esoteric language (not truly esoteric like brainfuck or something but... see for yourself http://inform7.com/ ) or some kind of teaching tool (I just saw scratch mentioned, that would be a good example there).

I think I'd start by upgrading your OS.

Ruby is a good one. I knew quite a bit of it at one point. Forgot it all though.

Creating the entire executable from scratch in binary code would be better.

Yes, you don't even need manuals or instruction on how to use it, you just write and it'll always work!

Look at my edited post. It has a example of how easy it is

OH GOD AHAHAHAHA
Anyways, OP I know what you are aksing, but I really would suggest your rethink your mindset. Computers and human brains do not work the same way. You are going to need to modify your thinking if you want to be able to program. STart with something that makes the most sense as a starter language like C.

edit: it is...jesus I am out of it

I know this is an old thread but for anyone that stumbles onto this i highly recommend...
LiveCode! Check it at LiveCode dot com
LiveCode is a descendent of MetaCard, a Linux clone of Apple's HyperCard, which is the same thing AppleScript was based on. LiveCode can run on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, HTML5/web, and there's a server version.
