Be nice, Rolf. Maybe he'll write a new app for Dragon Speech Recognition that will allow it to recognize Perl syntax. :)

    I'm nice AND funny! (and ironic)

    Actually recognizing source code from speech should be much easier, since running syntax checks on plain talk is not as trivial.

    But this sytem should include eye-tracking, most hackers wouldn't want to place the cursor by speech only ...

    If so, he should really use the comic profanity convention. Programming in Perl would be like a George Carlin routine.
      Oh you are talking about SymbolSwearing?

      Took me a while, other cultures have less problems with the Seven_Dirty_Words.

      But under the assumption that they shouldn't be used as identifiers in source code, they'd form excellent free replacements for punctuation (well at least the one-syllable ones).

      That would prevent name space pollution!

      In other words: say

      • "s#!t"¹ => $

        but

      • "dollar" => dollar

        such that

      • "s#!t dollar" => $dollar

      and so on.

      so @{ $job->( "name" ) }

      would be something like

      BUT I'm not confident about the encoding, cause I'm no native swearer! :-(

      Could you please help me?

      ¹) augmented spelling for the American market

      ²) update: corrected syntax error s/ f*ck / c*ck /

        Not a bad first-effort, but everyone knows that "tits" shouldn't be on the list because they're a snack. :)
