Programming languages form the interface between
programmers (the users) and the computation that
they desire the computer to execute. Although studies
exist for some aspects of programming language design
(such as conditionals), other aspects have received
little or no human factors evaluations. Designers thus
have little they can rely on if they want to make new
languages highly usable, and users cannot easily chose
a language based on usability criteria. This SIG will
bring together researchers and practitioners interested
in increasing the depth and breadth of studies on the
usability of programming languages, and ultimately in
improving the usability of future languages.
