Do expression as a candidate for evaluating tools #40

Open codehag opened 5 years ago

Hi everyone,

I am going to be assessing a couple of tools around language ergonomics, and I am looking for a proposal which is in an early enough stage that the assessment from the tools will be useful. The assessment will take the form of a structured survey with minimal bias that presents multiple options to a user and checks how quickly and easily they comprehended the meaning of the code. We are looking at the level of mental load that developers from different backgrounds will experience.

The do expression looks like a good candidate for this. The experiment will be non-binding, it is just to assess whether or not such a tool will be useful for our process when considering new syntax. what do people think?

I got a positive response from Dave regarding this, so I will draft an experiment for this and ask him to review when he has time.
