The other thing I should add, is that computer programming is a
transitive production process. This says that computer programming
cannot be art, itself, and can never be art. It is mechanism, of the
most boring sort. (Not even Kant would accept this as art.)
In computer code, one would not find poetry or art. Sure, I could write
a few hundred lines of C as an interactive data base... but what of
it... nothing but a boring, dreary repetition, in the sense of either,
or, (K) choices excluding the excluded middle. Which is to say the
exclusion of poetry and art. (How I data base my library based on a
program written in C is not a part of art production, of course.)
