> I know French and English and several programming languages, and they do seem very similar to me. I don't know, there are lots of obvious differences. I mean, just the fact that human languages have much larger vocabularies makes it so that learning a human language exercises the memory part of your brain way more than learning a programming language. (And yes, I'm pretty sure human languages have vastly larger vocabularies, even if you include things like standard libraries, etc. Especially since most programmers don't know most standard libraries by heart, as opposed to vocabulary.)
