Abstract

In methods for programming language design evaluation there is a gap between small internal methods and large scale surveys and studies. AsimilargapinHCIhasbeenfilledbythe discount usability evaluation method. In this report,thediscountusabilitymethodsapplicability on programming languages was examined, and it was found usable but better suited forcompilerandIDEevaluationoverlanguage design evaluation. To create a method to fill the gap, a modified version of the usability method, where the IDE and compiler was removed, was tested.
