I'm not sure if this is what they are implying but I find the statement "reading computer code is the same as reading language or math or logic" to be an odd null hypothesis.
- karmakaze 2y agoEvery one of these are languages and I'll add music. The purposes and constructed of these types of languages vary so should the thought processes. Computer programs can be written in a proof/solver language which would get closer to math/logic. This puts things on a grayscale IMO.
