Line 368:
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)

WRT "An implementation of a programming language is required in order to execute programs"
A compiler/interpreter is not an 'implementation' of a language. A compiler/interpreter understands and conforms to a language. [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 02:18, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
