Are "programmatic" and "programmable" the same? Can they be used in place of each other freely? For example, "programmable control" and "programmatic control".

  • As hayhorse indicates in his answer, programmable refers to the potential to be programmed, while programmatic refers to something that actually has been programmed.

Programmable describes something that can be programmed.
