In the locution "computer programming" there are two words
One can choose which one emphasizes I guess??

My own teacher of programming used to relate that when his teacher taught him
assembly language was "programming" and Fortran as "advanced"
Obviously the world today is different from the 1960s

But Gödel's theorem remains true as ever: No formal system (aka language)
is complete (suitable) for expressing everything
