Is Language a Technology?
- gourneau 15y agoMy assertion is that language is indeed technology. I love this quote. "Language is the most massive and inclusive art we know, a mountainous and anonymous work of unconscious generations." - Edward Sapir Language (1921) It is so ubiquitous that often it passes my awareness that it has been constructed by innumerable generations. I dare say language is the most advanced technology that we have ever created, and that everything we as programmers do is a continuation of our fragile protolanguage. Articulation and crystallization of ideas in the form of code.
