I came across this when wondering if there were any efforts to give programmers additional information via audio, similar to how colors are used in syntax highlighting.
Terr_•1h ago
There are some interested experiments out there in modes of highlighting, such as where colors are assigned to particular variables.

IMO syntax highlighting is still the best default for navigation and general reading, but I can imagine tasks where I might want to temporarily toggle what information I'm getting through that color-of-text route.

Hm, not sure how useful this is due to the age and link-rot.

Think linked homepage [0] domain is defunct, there's a potential successor [1], but nothing in its current "People Search" comes up for those 1996-era authors.

The Wayback machine seems to only have 404 errors back to the oldest entry in 2000.
