This seems to imply that the languages and other formalisms are all the
same, though, and I don't think that's true at all. Yes, you can write
horrid code using Lisp, Haskell, Java, assembler, XML, SQL tables,
relations, etc., and you can write good systems in them as well, but
that doesn't mean that some languages and constructs aren't better all
around than some others. To assert otherwise is to assert that
languages and systems have no impact on the way we think, and I think
that's silly.
