Language design doesnt feel underdetermined to me. You are right that there’s further variety, eg syntax. these lineages all interbreed. Eg lisp *is* a bicycle for the programmer that uses it. But some breeds are clearly of a kind. Chihuahua vs Great Dane.

Individual languages may not be within their paradigm, but across languages with overlapping capability? That’s clearly undeterdetermined. You can pick a 1000 ways to output ‘hello world’ and there’s no “right answer”

The bicycle part tends to be underrated because it’s had such limited scope until recently. I think of bicycle=UX as a placeholder art-science, kinda like alchemy or astrology before chemistry/astronomy. But with VR/AR, voice etc, it’s coming into its own as applied neuroscience

Yep. It’s more a neuro/cogsci/UX amalgamation.
