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.

Awkward? I don't think so.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    puts("Hello World!");
    return 0;
}


is read somewhat like this:
From the include path include the standard input and output header. Enter function main, which takes no parameters and returns an integer: Use puts to print Hello World!. Function returns 0 and exits.
