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).
