I'm open to any feedback/discussion on this - I'm relatively new to editing here, but this is my field and I am happy to elaborate on or support anything that seems subjective/biased (or just own if its a bias ). I really think this would both represent these viewpoints more clearly, and contextualize why people might have differing ones "in the wild" [[User:Theaceofthespade|Theaceofthespade]] ([[User talk:Theaceofthespade|talk]]) 18:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
 
== A computerprogramming language is for writing programs ==
 
WRT "A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs."
 
That's not wrong. But, it's not accurate. I can use a programming language to write a fragment or code that's never compiled into a program or compiled into a library. The language defines the rules for writing source code. Maybe less sexy, but that's all it is. Yes, you can write a program, but it's not limited to that. ... Natural language is writing books. ...And a whole lot of other stuff.[[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 02:12, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
