    To exist. What other language can you have in which something is either true or false?

    How limiting. No one would develop past infancy with such a simplistic language.
    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Because it needs to be encapsulated in some other higher level language. In computers, the purest language is binary, but nobody programs in binary because you'll be writing it forever.

    How is mathematics limiting? Everything is based on mathematics.

    Neo is right, though. It's the only language to have unambiguously true and false statements.
    If I lose everything in the fire...

    I prefer the ambiguity of normal languages. It makes it so much more human.

    We don't want to be robots. That would be horrible. Except maybe the constant 24/7 connection to the internet, but without a human body to enjoy it with, it's kinda pointless...
    Yo.

    If you want to get super technical though Dhampy, every letter in the alphabet can be represented by the char function in computers which in turn is executed and outputed by a binary stream. Thus the whole alphabet and language can be represented with numeric values.

    That's not a "language" of its own, that's merely English in numeric form.
