Abstract
A system and method for compiling source code comprising natural language declarations, natural language method calls, and natural language control structures into computer-executable object code is disclosed. The system and method allow the compilation of source code containing both natural language and computer language into computer-executable object code. The system and method use a component database, containing components and associated natural language instructions, to select one or more components having an instruction declaration associated with the natural language instruction. A solution manager is used to resolve ambiguities inherent in the use of natural language instructions in the source code.
