Could someone please explain this quote?
A good programming language is a conceptual universe for thinking about programming.
-- Alan Perlis
I tried looking for the meaning of "conceptual universe" but cannot find the meaning that would fit in the sentence.
The meaning of this quote is:
What we need is not just another programming language but a conceptual universe for thinking about software development, embodied in a kind of language that is new to computer science -- a language that will bridge the gap between programming and software development at large.
