You can ask any non-native English speaker. And then someone who grow up speaking English. The answers would be un-shockingly the same - programming languages [relatively] aren't that hard. English - is fucking insoluble.

Beginner programmers tend to focus on programming languages. Programming is for humans. Focus on the human language!

Well, I just think for me, it would have been a lot harder to get started if key words like ‘if’, ‘while’, ‘int’ etc were arbitrary gobbledygook instead of terms I already knew. I guess that’s wrong?
