Hey BioCoder Team,
-- Great to see more people working on software for biology. Just wondering if you have any additional documentation? "http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/india/projects/biocoder/" does not seem to point anywhere and I would be keen to check out examples and use cases.
Also it might help to expand your outline/goals in your readme.md. Perhaps discuss other languages and their shortfalls, e.g., autoprotocol is python based, anthalang uses go.. Why did you choose C? Where there specific applications that you targeted? What would you like to achieve through open sourcing? What aspects do you feel are still missing in your language?
Please keep the DIYBio group updated!
Best,
Tom

Hi all,
I am one of the developers of the BioCoder language. BioCoder is
essentially a C library with various functionalities included,
pertaining primarily to the field of Molecular Biology. We envision
the replacement of natural language description of protocols in
published papers with code written in BioCoder, thus making the
protocol standardized and amenable to automation and re-usability.We
are in the process of working out the release of BioCoder.
It is a widely accepted fact that most descriptions of protocols in
published papers are ambiguous and incomplete and we are unsure why
that is the case. We have come up with a survey to try and understand
the problem. It would be great if you could take this short 10-
question survey which tries to zero in on the problem. Results will be
made available on DIYbio when enough data points have been collected.
Please click on the link below to take the survey:
