On Readable Code: A Thought Experiment

What if people could leverage their understanding of
books and knowledge to read and think about code?

This is an imaginary language designed to be food
for thought.

The question I want to ask is:

  How can we build a programming language that everybody
  can read and write?

A programming language is "readable" if a human can understand
what a program does by reading its source from the entry point.

A programming language A is more readable than a programming
language B if more people can understand the programs written
in A than in B or, if the number of people is equal, if the
average time required to understand a program in A is lower
than the time required for a program in B.
