A programing language can be seen as UI between a human and the computer.
As such it is similar to a keyboard. The path to keyboard includes phisically wiring the hardware and punchcards. At the moment keyboards provide a stable tradeoff between precision and ergonomics. Maybe in some future we will be able to replace the keyboard with a microphone but there are good reasons why this hasn't happened yet.
- chaosprint 3y agolanguage is interface and keyboard is interaction device, so in what aspect are they similar? could you elaborate on this?
- sorokod 3y agoDon't see how adding "device" makes a relevant difference. In both cases they are an interface between the intent a human wishes to convey and the computer that is to execute that intent.
