I speak two languages in addition to English, and can (mostly) read and write a third.
English is far more expressive than the other languages with which I'm familiar.
- dalke 10y agoWhat is your point? Consider two color models. One can be "more expressive", that is, have a large gamut, than the second, but be unable to reproduce all of the colors in the second. Or, certainly Lisp is "more expressive" than APL, and both are Turning computable and thus equivalent, but some trivial constructs in APL require much more Lisp to express. How do you express Japanese honorific speech in English?
