Got redirected here from /jp/, but I suspect there is no satisfactory answer to my question.
Is there any non-katakana way to say "programming" or otherwise refer to writing code, software design, etc in Japanese? Google translates 計画法 as "Programming", and it seems to be the common denominator in programming-related compounds, but I can't find any confirmation of it being used by itself. Alternatively, any kanji terms for programmer/developer, or other programming-related activities like 'to compile', would be appreciated. In other words, something other than プログラムする, コンパイルする, etc.
I'll fully admit this is just because I want something that will look cool that I can put on a headband or shirt (no, shame isn't a problem), not for regular conversation. I do know some Japanese (I took two years of classes... I didn't do well, but I took them), but I'm hoping there's some jargon terminology I'm just not familiar with.
