To me reading code is reading math. It feels exactly the same. Same pattern about holding lots of things in mind at once.

- nkozyra 2y agoMost code is interpreted as declarative regardless of how it's written. I've always interpreted a chunk of functionality as a block of logic. Which is why syntax structures like if/else feel do natural. But we don't really follow natural language the same way.

- cgriswald 2y agoLikewise. Both code and math are almost physical objects in my mind. I hold these objects and relationships between them in my mind. I find it interesting that for language I find reading easier than writing but for code or math it is the opposite. When reading code or math it almost feels the same as when I’m learning a foreign language and trying to read it. I have to “translate” it into the my internal “objects”.
