I am not sure if you compare corresponding things in these programming analogies.
In programming, switching from C to Python is simple, switching from object-oriented to purely functional programming is more difficult, and trying an entirely new approach to programming that doesn’t use functions and variables at all is hardcore.
Doing biology without talking about cells and evolutionary tree… should perhaps be analogical to programming without functions and variables, rather then programming in a different language… which would perhaps be more like a choice between calling species by Latin or English names.
