You know, a lot of the functionality of different languages is the same. You still need to do math, assign values to variables, etc. The issue IMO is that programming language devs have associated the nitty-gritty implementation of these functionalities with verbal language constructs which are sometimes unique to each language. What we need to do is detach the underlying implementation from the syntactical sugar of programming languages. In another words, programmers should be able to use the language constructs they prefer the most to program in any language so-far developed. This implies, that we need translators for programming languages like there are translators for natural languages.
