For computer languages tho, definitely agreed there is an objective best when averaging over all the things we try to do with them. And it is very surprising how much commonality and uniformity there is across that space
I feel we can say imperative/functional languages are almost identical to each other when compared against the design space that assembly allows -- computed goto, jumpfrom, jumpwhen, so many options, and yet 99% of everything is if/then/switch
Does this mean programming languages are evolving into a meta description of some underlying 'thought-process' innate to God, or the-thing-that-causes-physics?
