You can argue if that if languages are merely tools, then sure, why not? But it leaves out things to wonder about and be intrigued by. I am not a fan of the idea that we cannot make interesting linguistic additions to our languages any mo

As interesting as Ada Lovelace's and Charles Babbage's story is, their efforts have had little (if any) influence on the computer we know today. In a sense, they are not completely relevant when talking about modern computing. I
