Ed said 'constitute programming'. He did not use the term 'language'. Ah, another war of words!
-- My assembler instructor in computer school got into the biz when 'programming' changes were made with Home Depot tools. Hard to fit the term 'language' to wire clippers and soldering irons. OK, long before Home Depot but not before Sears. -- I've heard stories of veteran CEs entering simple 'programs' into a CEC directly via HMC store operations. Again, no obvious 'language' involved. . .
