The term idea in the first sentence is unfortunate. The notion of expressive power is quite a bit more mathematically tangible than the term idea suggests. Rp (talk) 23:23, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Concepts, not ideas

I think the word "idea" is too informal to be used here. "Concept" on the other hand is a standard term when discussing the semantics of programming languages, so I propose to replace "idea" with "concept" throughout. Rp (talk) 16:31, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
