some recent ideas have also related to trying to partially bridge the gap
between human and machine languages. basically, trying to make a
"formalized" English grammar and semantics which can be mapped more or less
to programming structures (note, the idea is to make the program use
english-like structure and semantics, along with "deductive reasoning" and
similar features, and not just some ugly hack for trying to make an
"English-like" scripting language...). the hard part, however, is not the
grammar or the lexicon (I have already specified a basic grammar and
similar, and the lexicon is mostly just a matter of words), rather it is the
semantics (me considering at this point a possible hybrid of an AST and
heuristics approach, along with mapping things to a specialized object model
with most of the "back-end" machinery being done via conventional scripting,
but the details may change somewhat).
