      They are very much aimed at humans.

      Crafted to hurt humans, but still.

      imho they’re still made for humans. But the goal is to discuss them rather than code with them n_n

      I heard there was a programming language where you programmed a tree, that you could only manipulate manipulate in a “IDE” that looked a bit like Microsoft Word and saved the “source code” as a binary file.

      Found the infos: https://youtu.be/vcFBwt1nu2Ut=479

    I think it’s “learned helplessness”, sadly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

    Like much of math, people are often eager to talk about the cool stuff and make it sound hard because they are proud they understood it. For a newcomer, this is just a brick in the face.

      People who know math make math sound hard? Eehh, that does not seem to track. Math can become incredibly difficult, and even the cryptic terminologies are a way to alleviate the difficulty.

    It took me looking at unfamiliar programming languages and realizing that I could read most of them without really knowing them for me to realize I probably could learn to at least read another language.

    It’s been years since then and I’m still probably shit at Spanish, but just like programming languages regular languages were made by humans to communicate with other humans, you’re capable of understanding any of them given a reasonable amount of time and guidance.
