As a person who grew up speaking his mother's tongue, learned the language of a country where she had been born as the child of a worker under the National Mobilization Law, and who learned English from his father and Armed Forces Radio and TV, ultimately forgetting the other two languages at his father's behest, failed miserably at his one year and one day of high school French, and when sent to the Presidio of Monterey when I enlisted to re-learn my mother tongue only had a small smattering come back and who never managed to regain conversational fluency, it is quite mysterious to me how some folks learn languages so readily. Computer languages seemed a match for this facility (despite being the token graphic designer in the comparative programming languages course I was the only one who managed to do all of the Lisp problems successfully), but these days I find myself dragging blocks around to rough out designs using: https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/ https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/ rather than directly programming in OpenSCAD (or even the new Python variant: https://pythonscad.org/ https://pythonscad.org/ ) and wonder if it is a consequence of my choosing to express myself through drawing rather than by words when I was young.
