Re "Stephen Cheesman, a geophysics PhD and software developer who compares genetic systems to languages created by humans."

As a software engineer, I can say that genetic code has no real resemblance to computer machine code (at least not the types I've studied). Computer code is basically sequential, with the occasional jump to a different place. Genes seem to me much more analogous to recipes than computer code.
