I thought I would use this thread as a cover for writing up some of my recent fumblings about what imo programming languages are, why most of them stop being used, and why people get so gosh darn passionate about them. I call it Towards a Natural Theory of Programming Languages - towards because it is something of an outline, and natural because, well, you'll see. Hopefully it will find some resonance with folks, or at least generate a few more comments.
