> There exists a program every problem you have, you just have to find the code. That proposition is that of general programming languages. The compiler's proposition is that it will take your programs and faithfully per the language specification produce object code suited for its intended deployment platform. So > Are [general purpose programming languages] a scam as well? Well, kinda. Most languages come with a hype brigade and before you know it, darling of the day is "the only rational choice" for writing. Also, many b.s. about solving problem x whereas they only hand the problem over to something else, sometimes the programmer. So (mildly) yeah.
