Programming languages don't exist

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-20 8:50

Have you noticed how awkward it to read out loud a chunk of source code? Since the word root of `language' is `tongue' through Latin and then French. Humans pass down from parents to children sequences of uttered sounds with the tongue, mouth and lungs, and cobble together squiggles to half-ass symbolize discrete sound productions that spike concepts from one brain to the other. Computers don't have tongues, thus programming languages can never exist, generative linguistics is set theory, and the true power of human harnessed computation modeling is yet to be discovered.

It doesn't have hardware fog support, whoever said that doesn't know what they're talking about. If you're using shaders, you need to do your own fog falloff calculations and blending in the vertex shaders.

That said, there are some things which will never make sense to do in pure software, and that is the texture sampling/filtering operations, and those have specialized hardware on all current nVidia and AMD GPUs.
