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 grew in a multilingual household. My mom’s native language is different from my dad’s native language. Both are different from the language of the region I grew up in. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to pick up my father’s native tongue.

    Then I learnt English at school, and a tiny bit of French in university. On top of all that, I did a bit of self-learning on Esperanto and Japanese.

    For computer languages, I learnt BASIC, Pascal, C, HTML and CSS in high school. I was then exposed to Visual Basic, Java, C++, PHP and SQL in university.

    I think it’s just through my background and education that I got to be exposed to a lot of those languages, human and computer.
