Isn’t programming the clearest form of writing? Perhaps it’s the non programmers that need to “catch up”.

- mejutoco 1y agoWe are still in the pigsty compared to math
- Yoric 1y agoI'd have to disagree. We're much less ambiguous than math. In fact, according to theory, we're writing executable proofs.
- lgas 1y ago> Isn’t programming the clearest form of writing? Not the way most people do it.
- ashtonshears 1y agoIf programming was the most clear form of writing, then how come eductators frequently use pseudo code to make programming more clear?
- Dilettante_ 1y agoThe same reason kids are first taught the Bohrian atom model. It is less clear and precise, but thereby also less complex. "100 baskets of apples" is easier to hold in your head than "23 baskets of red, small-ish apples, 12 of large red, 6 of any size green...", but my no means does it permit a more clear view of the Truth. Different usage of the word "clear".
- Dilettante_ 1y agoAddendum: 'Clear' as in the opposite of ambiguous, not 'clear' as in the opposite of confusing.
