Re:Languages: Why we must save dying tongues (2014) by Chris2048 on Monday July 04, 2016 @08:24AM (#12030273)
I suppose - although a language would probably die out if children couldn't learn it - or the unlearnable parts in any case.

The clause "with little effort" is not counteracted though - for a computer this represents a short download-and-install of a compiler/interpreter.

Even writing a compiler may take the same amount of time it takes to learn a language from scratch.
