Well, "ghunghach" we know isn't that great; Okrand finally told us that
-ghach doesn't sit well on naked verb-stems. I imagine "an act of
programming" might go well as "ghunpu'ghach" or something. And of course
that's a little fuzzy for "program", which is the result of programming
(tho Okrand does say that -ghach can result in results, not just
activities).
De'wI'He doesn't work for me... it's really too metaphoric. Computer-route
makes me think of a road that you slide computers down, or a main roadway
through silicon valley, or *maybe* a T1 line between computers. If
anything, a program is more a "mIw" than a "He".
