[BlindMath] Question about Computer Programming

[John G Heim]

I believe most blind computer programmers write their code in a plain 
old text editor. Either that or they use a text editor with extra 
features designed to help with writing computer code. There are a lot of 
very accessible text editors. In fact, I think the problem might be that 
there are so many possibilities it might be hard to choose the right 
one. Here is an article about the top 20 text editors of 2018. Note that 
for many of them, it specifically mentions that they make a good 
programming environment:

PS: I write code every day and I just use the Linux text editor, gedit.
