Universal programming language
In Computer science and Computer programming, the Universal programming language refers to an hypotetical or real programming language having the most features of diverse programming languages such as Homoiconicity, diversity or Programming paradigm, notations, syntaxes, etc. and runnable by compuetrs regardless of their architecture.
On its simpest definition, an universal programming language should be able to host and run programs expressed as algorithms, given that these are bound to neither a particular programming language nor computer architecture.
Features
[edit]Even when it seems clear the simplistic idea of an universal programming language as a programming language most people 'agree' to use, it is not clear the set of features an universal programming language should have
It should solve the Expression problem
Dynamic
Atemporality
It must not be understood as 'permanent' or 'unchanged', but it can change and evolve in order to suppont new paradigms and features to come.
Clearity
Simplicity
Expressive power (computer science)
Modular programming (contrast Monolithic application)
Ontology (information science)
Mathematical notation (flame wars)
Syntaxes
History

Formulae
Uses
[edit]Surprisingly, given the features provided by an universal programming language, they can be used to several purposes, rather than merely running a program
Educational
Testing for new features
Prototyping
