@apophis @julesh @pettter clarifying statement: the motivation around compiler construction is to allow human operators to provide instructions to the computer in the simplest way possible (binary -> assembly -> high-level languages -> very-high-level languages), the "holy grail" of which is using natural language to write programs -- whereas the goal of PL theory is to come at this same problem from the other direction.

@rowb1t @julesh @pettter @apophis worst class I ever took in my life I shudder when I think of compiler construction and finite automata
