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 fucking love linguistics and phonetics but i can’t code for the life of me

Phonetics is my favorite. When i was a kid i tried to write out a phonetic alphabet for all English sounds. Then when i looked back after after learning the IPA and realized that i had assigned a single character to every double consonant and double vowel. But the alphabet did work and i did write things in it.
