Do you speak computer and human? (lemmy.ml)

I've observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.

If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?

I have an interest in both, but have mainly focused on human language. I speak Danish (and by extension a fair bit of Norwegian and Swedish and English, and some level of reading in German, Spanish and French, and have studied Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Akkadian academically.

I'm considering getting back into coding for a career change now, haven't really used it much since my teens. I used ASP, PHP and SQL.

I have a logic approach to both, I think, but they're also quite different.
