i've also got a bone to pick with this idea that languages cannot be general while covering specific uses well. i know about Godel's theorem and all that, and all languages are the same, but paradoxes and other anomalies are irrelevant to computers, that's called an error.

what i really don't like is how it seems to be underpinned by the "rules for thee and not for me" inherent in the "polylogism" of marxism. the idea that communication cannot happen between classes, for reasons.

this is bullshit.

even many kinds of mammals have rudimentary language abilities that enable humans to have a conversation with them that actually achieves something. dogs herding sheep, cats asking for dinner and clean the toilet.

computers are computers and computations are computations, so yeah in theory I agree with you. However some languages have Lindy effect in certain areas. A lot of effort was spent to develop frameworks on them, which became industry standards. You don't have to use them but that means a big disadvantage

yeah, in general, it's all about libraries and hardware interfaces.
