A programming language lets the programmer express data processing in a symbolic manner without regard to machine-specific details. See how many programming languages are there?.

Not necessarily for the data-science and machine-learning communities built around Python extensions like NumPy and SciPy, but as a general programming language.

Abstractions in programming, while hiding complexity and creating more distance to that machine code, help programmers get closer to the actual problems they’re trying to solve.

AI- and machine learning-powered programming tools have the potential to reshape industries. But they have a ways to go.
