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?

    Both! I have traveled internationally and always try to learn enough of the local language to at least show some respect for people’s cultures. If I were to pursue an advanced degree and didn’t care about money, it would be in linguistics. I also use or have used a lot of computer languages, so maybe that’s it, it’s not just programming, it’s collecting more ways to express yourself.
