Programming=Magic?

Hello everyone, today I was reading SICP, and the similarity between magic and computer science struck me. Just as a magician can weld great power by speaking the language the of gods to bring down fire and lightning, we programmers can herd thousands and millions like slaves with the right lines of codes. Such power to be weld solely through intellect exist nowhere else.  With the right lines of codes, we can cripple nations and conquer the world. Such magnificent power, I must read more SICP.

So, like any good wizard, we document our masterful spells in spellbooks.  They include the ingrediens (source code) and some reasoning and directions so we can remember WTF ritual we were going through when created this artifact  We take our favorite sacrament, and build languages and worlds inside the bits and bytes being processed by our Von Nuemann machines.
