Dual programming interface

A computer, comprising:

• a memory to:
• store first routines, and
• store second routines;
• and
• a processor to:
• associate the first routines with a first category of users and the second routines with a second category of users,
• determine whether a user is associated with the first category of users or the second category of users,
• provide, when the user is associated with the first category of users, an informal interface using the computer,
• the informal interface enabling the user to access the first routines using an informal input format,
• provide, when the user is associated with the second category of users, a formal interface using the computer,
• the formal interface enabling the user to access the second routines using a formal input format, and
• the second routines supporting developer functionality,
• receive:
• a first input having a first routine input format,
• the first routine input format complying with the informal input format, or
• a second input having a second routine input format,
• the second routine input format complying with the formal input format;
• process the received first input or the received second input, and
• perform a computing operation based on the processing.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• group routines associated with an application to form a group that includes first routines and a group that includes second routines;
• associate the first routines with a first category of users and the second routines with a second category of users;
• determine whether a user is associated with the first category of users or the second category of users,
• provide, when the user is associated with the first category of users, an informal interface using a computer,
• the informal interface enabling the user to access the first routines using an informal input format;
• provide, when the user is associated with the second category of users, a formal interface using the computer,
• the formal interface enabling the user to access the second routines using a formal input format, and
• the second routines supporting developer functionality;
• receive:
• a first input having a first routine input format,
• the first routine input format complying with the informal input format, or
• a second input having a second routine input format,
• the second routine input format complying with the formal input format;
• process the received first input or the received second input;
• and
• perform a computing operation based on the processing.
