I like to view software as pure thought that happens to be encoded in a weird, formal structure, very much analogous to writing and poetry. It's been a very useful perspective for me in a lot of ways and the parallels are substantial. It also implies a much vaster realm of "software thinking" filled with things like uxntal and colorforth than currently exists in the world. Instead, most people (myself included) spend the majority of our time writing corporate memos in passive voice.
