Hmm. No. Just knowing what you want isn't enough. Language matters because you don't want to solve the same problems over and over again. Have a look at Dan Am

Hmm. No. Just knowing what you want isn't enough. Language matters because you don't want to solve the same problems over and over again. Have a look at Dan Amelang's work on the NILE renderer, and then see if you can still say that language doesn't matter. What is the smallest set of orthogonal abstractions that, when combined, yields the explicitly desired behaviors, along with the implicitly necessary ones?
