Talk:Universal definition for programming languages

I don't think attempts at definitions along these lines are ever going to capture the entire range of programming languages: there's no reason why a programming language necessarily has an instruction pointer, or even instructions. My go-to example along these lines is But Is It Art?. Another good example is the Post correspondence problem. Both of these languages are purely declarative, with no imperative features at all, whereas your definition seems to only really cover imperative languages. --ais523 17:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC) 17:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC) It still seems like they can be defined.
