Tough one. Maybe script. That will make everyone groan. It's still a language metaphor (Latin script, Korean script).
Or programming system in analogue of writing system. Becomes progsys for short.
I know - why not just call it code? That's what we already do. We can just make it the preferred term.
- amelius 6y agoI think code would be ambiguous. For example in "I'm working on the code" do you mean what we now call the actual code, or the language?
- kzrdude 6y agoWe could use a longer for thing like coding system (codesys)? And then you could say I'm working on the Rust coding system, or the Rust codesys, or the Rust code itself (lazy version).
