I agree, someone speaking multiple languages will not suddenly become good at programming.

But there is a study that showed, that talent for languages matters more for programming skills than talent for mathematics.

But all the best programmers are good at maths.

Did that study do anything beyond intro programming materials? Did that study really show anything?
