Alot of pushing the language outside its design purpose. One can do alot
but still is quite limited and it is in these limitations that defines
what is a Programming language and what is just a computer language for a
different purpose. Programming languages are computer languages designed
for creation of programs and therefore is designed with internal features
such as variable handling to enable the creation of a program not alot of
snapshot images that are just simply sequenced together to give the
illusion.
