Heh, that's a good question. I was thinking in the context of von Neumann arch, but it's a good argument that it's symbolic manipulation. In that case, any language will do... but the best programmers I know almost intrinsically know the von Neumann architecture and they're C programmers too :)
- lanaer 17y agoI'm not entirely sure that the craft of programming has a great deal to do with the core of computer science. A programmer develops software for the hardware of today, so good programmers had better be well acquainted with von Neumann’s architecture. Theoretical computer science doesn’t need that architecture. It also needs mathematicians more than programmers, I think.
