It's only a word but the very fact the article refers to Erlang as a "coding language" and not a "programming language" is enough to give it a cheap, amateurish feel from the start IMHO.
I'd just ignore it as low quality click bait if I were you.
- rob74 4y agoThat sounded odd to me too, but not being a native speaker, I was asking myself "is that how they call a programming language nowadays if they want to sound cool?". Guess not...
- freedomben 4y agoIt may indicate that it was written by someone who is relatively young. The teenagers I know (including my own) all say "coding", never say "programming". I suspect the latter sounds "old" to them. Since the young tend to be amateurs, I whole heartedly agree that it sounds amateurish. It probably is, and we're probably getting old.
- topaz0 4y ago"coding", sure -- I say that all the time too. But "coding language" is something I have never heard.
