Discussion on: What is a Programming Language?

I guess my point was that you don’t really further solidify a definition. You provide some arbitrary criteria (Turing Completeness) that you simultaneously violate (some Turing Complete languages aren’t programming languages).

In other words, it seems like your criteria is more of a feeling or bias rather than something that can be verified.

At any rate, I do appreciate the discussion! I think you raise a good point about diluting terminology. I’m just not sure it’s an issue in this case.
