Interestingly, the functional programming crowd sees it the opposite way (according to Curry-Howard isomorphism): every program represents some logical calculus and programs are proofs to some prepositions about our programs that we keep in mind writing the program (and it's possible to get a glimpse of the prepositions using types).
