> If that was not the case, how could we have 50+ programming languages, when the very purpose of a programming language is to express your ideas into a somewhat tangible (insofar as one can claim the electronic written word to be tangible) form that can then be communicated to others. I think part of the issue is that we don't all agree on what the point of a computer program is or how best to get to the same results for the points we do agree on. Similarly the reason we don't understand the Internet is because the Internet is a conceptual handwave used by humans. We use it to communicate which means it's a lot of different things, very messy and a lot of it is organic.
