It's funny, I never associated formal languages as part of the theory of computation. We only learnt about them from the perspective of automata/state machine theory
Didn’t you go into Turing machines and the Halting problem from that?
That was my intro into computation: regex, automatas, state machines, stack state machines, formal languages, grammars, Turing machines, Hanting Problem, P NP.
No, we went Automata, Finite State Machines, regex, grammars, set-theoretical and other mathematical formalisms
