There is one language that is spoken, yet makes one heck of a programming language

Lojban. It's the grammar that does it.

I find myself slipping into Java in my day-to-day speach. Specifically, I find that the verb "extends" and the metaphor "like a for loop" have more meaning for me than for most people.

I've used those two on just about everything. More people should know those terms.

I think most programming languages can be spoken. Not Piet, but most others.

Hmmm...

Public static void main left parenthesis string args left square bracket right square bracket right parenthesis.

System dot out dot println left parenthesis double quotation mark Are you sure programming languages can't be spoken? double quotation mark right parenthesis semicolon.

OK, so it's kinda clumsy when you try to pronounce every punctuation mark. I guess SQL could be pronounced though, because it was designed to read like English...

I believe that was also the premise behind Cobol, but they made it rather ridiculous. Even SQL uses symbols like + and -, but in Cobol the statements are something like "ADD 1 TO X. PLACE RESULT IN Y."

Well, if you goto a programming class the teachers usually try to pronunce the source they write on the whiteboard. Sure it can be spoken but... it's not pretty.

oooh... that pronunciation of syntax reminds me of Scheme and its reading of car/cdr (car = car and cdr = could-er). Try combinations of the like caddr or cadadaddr.
