Really? I feel like it's more: "usable, powerful and reliable: choose one ... if you're lucky".
- ne0n 11y agoThe point is that it doesn't say anything about what it does. A programming language could be described as a "easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data." It processes and distributes data? That just sounds like a computer.
