Do you speak computer and human? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Guess I'm an outlier, compared to other commenters? I love languages, have learned French, Spanish and Latin, and currently learning Irish. Even a little of a language goes a long way to connecting with other people, be it family or strangers!

But coding? I can never get into it, never really enjoyed it. I wish I could, the benefits are obvious, but it's just not for me!
