(countable, uncountable) A code of reserved words and symbols used in computer programs, which give instructions to the computer on how to accomplish certain computing tasks.
Font and computer-imaging technologies are arcane, and experts at the conference said that for the average user, a choice is often synonymous with confusion. “I really don’t see how creating another level of programming language is going to help the end user,” said Ajit Kapoor, a print industry consultant from Marshfield, Mass.
1990 March 11, Peter H. Lewis, “The Executive Computer; The Font Wars: New Weapons Are Rolled Out”, in The New York Times, New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 25 May 2015:Even the first version of Windows 95, shipped in August 1995, had programming language from Explorer embedded in the operating system. […] Using the add-remove feature in Windows, Microsoft says, deletes only about 3 percent of programming language in Explorer, removing the icon for opening the browsing program and little more.
1997 December 30, Steve Lohr, “Justice Dept. Accuses Microsoft of Disobeying Judge’s Order”, in The New York Times, New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 27 Jun 2021:The Java language allows the writing of applications as a collection of small chunks of programming language called objects.
1998 June 11, Jim McManus, “Language Called Java Transcends Barriers”, in The New York Times, New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 23 Apr 2022:Not being, well, dead, I don’t much enjoy that pileup of Latinate abstractions, despite their supple cadences and dense sound effects. I’m pretty sure [Ryan] Ruby designed that bit to mimic the denatured feel of programming language. It doesn’t matter if I follow every word. Not all poetry wants to achieve the same things; this too is something language — poetic language — can do.
