asgs115634y@dmonkey since when? I have the same question. I didn't know human languages were logical until you asked

@M1sf3t @rubbiekelvin Everything is math in disguise.

Anyone trying to write a transpiler from math to any real programming language (inlcuding Haskel or coq), knows, that math is something else.
Math isn't even a single language.
It is a set of languages for expressing relations and interactions of things and concepts by and for humans.
Parts of some languages of that set actually have been incorporated into almost all programming languages (basic arithmetics, boolean logic) though. -
@Oktokolo that's actually a really interesting problem, going back to the constructivist approach to logic and the various programs by people like Frege and Hilbert to have a rigorous analytical basis of mathematics (which survives in modern form, after the Godel nerf, in terms of things like type theory research).
You can get surprisingly far with very little and the deep connections between proofs and types mean that programming languages can actually encode a fascinating amount of stuff. -
hjk10157314y@Ranchu Think maybe you have that backwards?🤔

cloudsxvx594yIdk man math is like the command line of the universe. Just wait till we find the console.
math is a programming language in disguise 🌚
