The advantage, though, is I already know English and it wasn’t too much of a jump to adjust to the specific syntax I7 requires. C# (and good god, JS is the bane of my existence) is a completely new thing.
That’s the point of this whole “natural language” discussion though. People tend to have an adept brain for actual coding or not. Some people find it easy to just pick up complete new languages and some don’t, so it’s not valid to just say “oh, just learn the new thing…” Easier said than done for some of us.
I’d venture it’s a similar difference in difficulty range of an English-speaker learning Spanish which uses the same character set and an English-speaker learning a Middle Eastern or Asian language where the character set is completely different.
