Jargons And High Level Languages

[spir]

Hello,

just step by chance upon a post about "Jargons And High Level Languages":
http://xahlee.org/emacs/jargons_high_level_lang.html.
Very interesting. Seems the author's primary intention is to re-place humans
semantics at the core of programming language definition. (Just like me.) I
don't agree with all what he says, sure, but the /intention/ is, I guess, to
highlight precisely what we're missing.
Discussion of this in general, and of particular points, welcome.

Denis

hrm, isn't there something like Godwin's Law that as soon as somebody
brings in a reference to xah lee, somebody else has to call somebody a
Nazi, and then somebody else has to invoke the spirit of john harrop
when he was an ocaml instead of F# bigot, etc. etc.?

Awa! Didn't know. But, just like in PL design, are we really *forced* to
inherit errors from the past?
