Blind people already do programming. I know a blind guy who can code really fast, much faster than my colleagues, no idea how though.

Shouldn't you be researching how they code now and then work from there? I actually feel like current way of coding using text works very well for blind people.

I have arthritis and my hands had been affected a lot, I actually like it when the languages are more verbose. Because I can use "Procedural memory" and can be more automatic. My hands already know how to type those words. Symbols or short words force me into more conscious typing and/or move my fingers in a not familiar way.

This is a good point, but note blindness is just one of many disabilities.
