Programming is the composition of sequences and instructions for computers to perform tasks, since computers natively don't understand human languages and can only understand binary code, which are sequences of 0s and 1s, though that's only for digital electronic computers. A programming language is a language used for programming a computer. There are multiple fields within programming like webdev (ugh), systems programming, computer graphics, machine learning, etc. If you don't know how to program you're basically computer illiterate, since you can't tell computers to do or automate anything. Remember that computers were created by extremely intelligent and autistic people, not by average men and much less women. In these times (since 2023) you no longer need to learn to program basic stuff since you can ask AI to do everything for you. It's not that good still, so being experienced is very useful but it will probably get better in the future, where there will be incredibly bad written, vulnerable and bloated software existing together with small computers running Dusk OS. Actually you still need a lot of knowledge for software development to tell LLMs to do things and compilers do 90% of the work anyway, writing in a programming language even in C is almost nothing. Nowadays everything related to computer science and IT is very shitty. There are other types of computer languages that are not turing complete (whatever that means, I'm brainlet) like markup languages, so they can't be considered programming languages { si o no que programando en HTML bro, ya ves que es otro tipo de programación }.
It is said that the the highest level that women (not black women) and black men can ever reach in programming is python and javascript. Also some say that that's also the highest zoomers (men) can ever reach ev&oe that's clearly not true as there are very smart zoomers. What they do with their abilities is something else though.
Btw it seems that as of 2026 LLMs can't program very well in Forth, so learning that language will probable be useful in the future.
