Would you say learning a programming language is easier or harder than learning a natural language? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

definitely easier, but i helps if you know the language that the programming language is targetted to.

python, for example, was created in the netherlands, but it's definately written for english speakers.

Does anybody have examples of popular programming languages that are not targeted to English?

Wenyan is an ancient Chinese programming language. I had a lot of fun coding with it.
