It's kind of amazing if you think about it that most people are able to learn to read. Spoken language I can understand since it can evolve. Then one day people started writing things down and it turns out somehow we are pretty good at reading things back almost as well as talking to one another. Programming doesn't seem to be like that at all.
- akvadrako 5y agoTwo big differences I see: 1. Most people who learn to read start from a young age. It's rare to teach programming at 6 or incedently practice it everyday. 2. Reading is almost the same as listening, like a 1:1 mapping. So it's evolved with spoken language.
