Gregg is not the way to go if you're looking for a shorthand that captures text in the way you would need for programming or science and I don't know of a good shorthand for this [if it wasn't already APL.]

Gregg is very much a "visible" sound system from a time when people just needed to capture the conversations and later expand back into text with the aid of a secretary. That is, if you didn't mutate your shorthand for your own purposes.

That being said, Aaron Hsu's handwriting is beautiful, but not my cup of tea for thinking on paper--my initial reaction to his scanned pages was unpleasant because it wasn't what I was used to from my own hands.
