Hard to know if it's universal or just all the language designers being influenced by the same stuff.

Hard to know if it's universal or just all the language designers being influenced by the same stuff.
- burlesona 6y agoWell, there’s some of both. Languages all influence each other, and most of them are “inspired” by a specific parent or two - “D is Better C,” etc. But there are also a handful of core CS ideas and computer hardware characteristics that derive a lot of what computers can do and how to do it well, and that stuff shows up as pretty universal across many languages.

- kalium-xyz 6y agoDefinitely both, in any software you take user expectations into consideration. Also all programming language designers are humans most of who know English, this gives a shared cultural context.
