Are there ways to program in Java as if you know english

Question

This question might be hard to understand for many, but is it possible to write code (Java) as if you know it as well as English? I want to be able to pick up my laptop, think about something to code (anything), and easily program it.

Answer 1

100% yes. After a while, writing code is effortless and second nature. Well... for those with a natural affinity to coding I suppose.

I personally feel like I write code more naturally than I write in English - my native language.

I do a lot of live coding sessions with my dev teams and can really light it up on my screen when implementing a new feature which involves multiple languages, IDEs, paradigms, projects, unit tests, int tests, client code, server code, database queries, etc.

My non-coder friends and family have expressed it's freaky watching me cranking away while coding, jumping around on multiple monitors, toggling through windows and tabs, rapidly clacking away at the keyboard while having a random conversation about something unrelated. They can't understand how I can keep that pace or even track what I'm doing.

For me... it feels like I'm going in slooow motion as my fingers can't type fast enough to output the code so vividly constructed in my head.

Answer 2

eh, yes and no... It’s like writing an essay, you cant really just open a notebook and write a beautiful essay on the spot. You need to put together a plot, a structure, check your grammar and perhaps even look up words you arent quite sure you know the exact definition of. However if you’re simply writing something you’ve already written many times, or a something small and non-complex, then yeah its easy peasy.

Answer 3

When you have enough experience you would be able to code like that with minimal time for looking things up or asking questions.

Answer 4

No. Java is a coding language
