Well, in a way they do: Think about code optimization.

The only illusion was about the level of abstraction that could be 
obtained. I guess the problem there is that natural human language is 
ill-suited for specifying even the problem to be solved with a computer 
program (let alone the algorithm to solve it): As soon as precision is 
required (and with computers that's obviously the case), it quickly gets 
overly verbose and cumbersome (every scientific paper gives testimony of 
this fact).
