The paper presents an analysis of computer programming languages based on\nthe semiotics of Charles S. Peirce. The author describes how such languages\ncould evolve in order to achieve some of the expressive characteristics of natural\nlanguages. This description evinces otherwise unnoticed differences between\nnatural languages and programming languages, showing that Peircean\nsemiotics is an efficient analysis tool. This suggests further research on the\ntechnical features needed to implement an easier way to program computers.
