If a language can't store information and retrieve it later, then there is a limit to its usefulness. There are problems it cannot solve.

That's OK, because not every language needs to be do that in order to serve its niche, but it's not a programming language.

As I said, not all programing languages are general purpose. Just because there are problems it can't solve does not mean it's not a programming language.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

No, it's really not.
