Depends on the context.  If the context is something in the
direction of your comment it's fine.  But if the context is 
"I don't know if that's about a chat or a cat" I'd use "und".

That would be wrong for almost all languages not yet in the
registry belonging to another collection like "ger".

If it doesn't know that it can use "und", abusing "mis" is
no option.  I think "art" is about artificial languages for
humans or in fiction, not for programming languages.
