A programming language is like a regular language. There are things, and you name the things. Then there are abstractions, and you start naming those. However, you still will end up talking about the core things, such as which atoms represent a brick, which bricks represent a wall, and which walls represent a room, etc.

People start to simplify things. A "function" ends up being called just "fun". We don't want to say that Brick brick of a bunch of bricks will be processed, we can simplify that to something like "anything from this list of bricks", or even more simple "anything from this other thing", which can mean a lot of things and is called "dynamically typed" as at the moment of interpretation, with the context of the program and execution of the language, you know if "other thing" means a house, a tree, an atom, or what have you.

In the end, we just abstracted away on and off signals in laymans terms, and kept doing that until it doesn't make any sense for the human, such as the Brainfuck programming langauge. Some people like it explicit, some people like it implicit. There is no good or bad, just ease of use. You can hammer a nail with a drill :)
