Why does age matter ? What is the point of asking about age ?

Not the OP, but I can be an interesting metric with regards to what people learn. For instance with regards to languages, do "younger" commenters learn more "hyped" languages than "older"? Or is the reverse?

In general I would classify it "just for fun" and the OP did state it was optional. Perhaps edited after your comment?

Imagine someone responding I am 200 and last thing I learned is the secret to immortality.
