Comment on A Bit of Heresy: Functional Languages are Overratedparent

I agree fully. I think what's magical is that even though I understand computers at all these different levels, I'll never be able to hold all the parts in my head at once, so at any given time I'm left believing that some part of the system involves magic.

In another sense, I think there's "magic" in the sense of "wonder". Even knowing how some piece of technology works, I find myself constantly in amazement and wonder that it does work.
