Semi-automated Generation of Domain-specific, Natural Language-Based, Visual Programming Languages

Abstract

With the continued proliferation of digitally available data, it is likely that in the future more programming will need to be done by professionals who are untrained as computer scientists. to this end, domain-specific programming languages like MATLAB, Excel VBA, and LabVIEW G will continue to increase in popularity. Herein we briefly examine three domain-specific languages, considering positive and negative attributes of each. We then propose the creation of a tool that will facilitate semi-automated generation of new domainspecific programming languages. to best address the needs and technical background of the intended user population, the generated language will be graphical, with a syntax and semantics based on natural language.
