Python is a formal language. You don’t use Python to not use C (a formal language), Assembly (another formal language) or Opcodes (still formal). You just use Python.
Likewise, you don’t use French to say “c’est mon chat” because you want to say “it’s my cat” in English. You just use one or another based on the current context. But programming languages are strictly equivalent to each other, while natural languages just overlaps in some way.
- SubiculumCode 1y agoIts a formal language, fine. But it still gets translated to machine instructions.
- skydhash 1y agoIt's a translation like writing "2 + 2" instead of "two plus two" or "power of two". Programming language are more about notation than the ideas themselves.
