I wonder if anyone has ever tried using a genetic algorithm , or Neural net to
design a parser for braille. Heck maybe even something like lisp or prolog
would be a better language parser because the rules make the code.

That is what I'm trying to say in a general way. How does the maintainer
invoke the subroutine or method and pass arguments or parameters to it?
You seem to be recommending making a direct call from a programming language.
My general experience (based on more than 40 years of software
development) is that hard coding like this very often leads to unexpected
problems in the future that are typically difficult to fix. You need some
intermediate layer or abstraction or whatever to provide the necessary
flexibility to minimize problems with maintenance and extensions.
