which explains why this tool requires a NEAR AI account to use

I tried this out on huggingface, and it has the same issue as every other multimodal AI OCR option (including MinerU, olmOCR, Gemini, ChatGPT, ...). It ignores pictures, charts, and other visual elements in a document, even though the models are pretty good at describing images and charts by themselves. What this means is that you can't use these tools yet to create fully accessible alternatives to PDFs.

Cognitive load isn't a valid or useful concept: https://edtechdev.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/cognitive-load-th... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2024.2...

There are separate contexts involved here: the coder, the compiler, the runtime, a person trying to understand the code (context of this article), etc. What's better for one context may not be better for another, and programming languages favor certain contexts over others.

In this case, since programming languages primarily favor making things easier for the compiler and have barely improved their design and usability in 50 years, both coders and readers should employ third party tools to assist them. AI can help the reader understand the code and the coder generate clearer documentation and labels, on top of using linters, test driven development, literate documentation practices, etc.

In my opinion, the best way is to study and contribute to an existing compiler.

There are dozens to choose from that compile to javascript: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-lang...

or java's JVM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages

or .net/mono's CLI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages
