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?

I write code in a bunch of different languages without breaking a sweat, but the human spoken language has always been a mystery to me. I can barely handle one language, I've tried learning two others and failed miserably except for a very small handful of words.

I love linguistics and the study of language, but i struggle exactly as you. Programming languages are a lot simpler to learn.
