Which language will do?

[Jerry Feldman]

Jared,
I was wondering if you looked at emacsspeak. This is a set of tools that run under emacs. The guy who wrote it was a blind programmer working at DEC's CRL and now works for ADOBE. His name is T.V. Raman:

I suggest that you review some of Raman's work.

Also, I think that Perl would serve you well.   

BTW: We had Raman and Aster spoke at the BLU a few years ago.
