> there are definitely people that are able to look at a german text without having ever studied german before and make sense of it in a rough way Sure, by knowing both English and Swedish, German has sufficiently little "uniqueness" left to it that I can often get a rough idea of a German text despite never studying it. But how is this different from reading Haskell when you've previously worked in Scala and Rust?
