Starting from this point we can begin developing the practice of Code Criticism. I suggest two things we need to jump this program, 1) the beginnings of a shared vocabulary of style and 2) example close readings of programs. If we are going to develop any ideas about what code criticism looks like, what its forms ought to be, what theories about it we ought to accept, we need to start by attempting it. Practice almost always precedes theory.

In this talk, I will report on progress developing a fuzzy type theory, a project that started as part of the ACT 2022 Adjoint School. The motivation is to develop a logic which can model opinions, and we do this by generalizing Martin-Löf type theory. Martin-Löf type theory provides a system in which one can construct a proof (aka a term) of a proposition (aka a type), and we usually interpret such a term as saying that the proposition holds. Fuzzy type theory is a similar system in which one can provide or construct evidence (aka a fuzzy term) to support an opinion (aka a type), but the evidence (fuzzy term) comes with a parameter, for instance a real number between 0 and 1, which expresses to what extent the opinion holds.

Peter Naur’s essay “Programming as Theory Building” is an exploration into the essence of programming. What is the activity of programming? How does this notion affect our practice? As Naur sees it, understanding the nature of this activity is paramount, for, “If our understanding is inappropriate we will misunderstand the difficulties that arise in the activity and our attempts to overcome them will give rise to conflicts and frustrations.” Unfortunately, despite Naur’s consciousness-raising essay, we find ourselves in exactly this predicament.
As the title suggestions, Naur claims that programming is first and foremost a process of theory building. What Naur means by this is that what is most fundamental to the process of programming is not the source code, the documentation, or even the running program, it is instead the knowledge the programmer has.
