«This made us wonder, why do we not practice to read code aloud? In the same way that reading text aloud helps to understand meaning, so could reading source code! We call this idea code phonology. Settling on a phonology could be challenging than you think, even for simple statements. For example, how should we pronounce an assignment statement like x = 5? Is it “x is 5”? Or “set x to 5”? Or “x gets 5”? And what about an equality check? Is it “if x is is 5”? Or “if x is 5”? Or “is x is equal to 5”?»
