'''Universal programming language'''
In [[Computer science]] and [[Computer programming]], the '''Universal programming language''' refers to an hypotetical or real programming language having the most features of diverse programming languages such as
On its simpest definition, an universal programming language should be able to host and run programs expressed as [[Algorithm|algorithms]], given that these are bound to neither a particular programming language nor computer architecture.

Even when it seems clear the simplistic idea of an universal programming language as a programming language most people 'agree' to use, it is not clear the set of features an universal programming language should have

[[Homoiconicity]]

Atemporality
It must not be understood as 'permanent' or 'unchanged', but it can change and evolve in order to suppont new paradigms and features to come.

Surprisingly, given the features provided by an universal programming language, they can be used to several purposes, rather than merely running a program
