Really? I feel like it's more: "usable, powerful and reliable: choose one ... if you're lucky".

The point is that it doesn't say anything about what it does. A programming language could be described as a "easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data." It processes and distributes data? That just sounds like a computer.

Well, there's "could be described as" and then "really is". But since this is their home page, I'm willing to let them put their best foot forward.
