I’ve observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.

If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?

    I speak English, Portuguese and German fluently. I have pretty decent knowledge of French, and can understand a good deal of Spanish. I am also able to read Arabic. I like learning languages, and I like comparing the intricacies between languages, though I wouldn’t say I’m interested in linguistics.

    When it comes to programming, I know C++, python and rust. I don’t think there is a correlation to liking languages and programming languages, they are very different.
