Or maybe because of the Deutsch limit (text is denser):

- TeMPOraL 10y agoI think so. And related, I haven't seen a good way of managing abstractions in a way we do it with text. The dataflow paradigm feels a bit too weak for that (but maybe it's only my impression). With textual programming languages we're used to, there's - for better or worse - pretty much no upper limit for the stack of abstractions we can create.
