>In a way many (perhaps all?) comunications could be seen as small programs.
It strikes me that in day to day comuncation non-verbal coimunication
(making a cup of tea for somebody, kissing or striking them, bowing) could
be seen as a attempt to change their "state". It could still be argued that
all of those are still linguistic in that they are often symbols with a
meaning set by culture. I'm not sure I'm convinced "non-linguistic
programing" is possible at all, yet.
Exactement, mon ami.

demonstrating that I know a little bit of French/Bash/Python whatever :)*
