descriptionswhile
Descriptionswhile is a neologism used in discussions of programming languages and computational linguistics to describe a control-flow pattern that couples iteration with live-generation of descriptive content. In its proposed use, a descriptionswhile block iterates over a data sequence while accumulating or emitting natural-language descriptions of the elements being processed. It is not a standard construct in mainstream languages but appears in experimental tooling and speculative design papers.
Origin and etymology: The term is formed from "description" and "while," signaling a while-loop variant focused
Syntax and semantics: A descriptionswhile block runs while a condition holds, and in each iteration a description
Applications: It is presented as a model for narrative generation, automated documentation, and accessibility descriptions where
Limitations and reception: As a conceptual construct, descriptionswhile lacks a standardized syntax or broad compiler support.
