Discussion on: Are the codes written/read left to right ?! (a misconception among beginners)

I'm not sure if I understand your point, but in every instance you have listed (aside from code direction or difference in programming languages), the syntax would follow the raw data. Am I right? I mean you have a Raw data in the first place and after that you decide how to manage it (based on specific syntax of your program).

My point is only that there are programming languages which do have the codes such that they are read from left to right, like the ML family of languages.

Yes, there are many syntactic differences between programming languages, but in this case we are just discussing the path of thought. Thank you for your attention
