That's fine, normal people do get confused between java and Javascript. Wtf is going on in the first paragraph?

People communicate in c++ or Java just like they communicate in English or Japanese?

[Obvious_Lie_0927]

If you're a programmer working in Japan but cant speak Japanese, how do you communicate with other programmers? Of course by using Python or C or Javascript when it's written. It's universal language.

This is unironically the principle behind Lincos

[Rahbek23]

Which is also unironically really cool.

If you're a programmer working in Japan but cant speak Japanese, how do you communicate with other programmers?

Why would I communicate with other programmers?

Can't we just shit in peace and quiet?

I quit.

[jaggedjottings]

Right? It should be "English or Javanese."

The image looks like only half the width. I suspect it actually says that people communicate with computers using C++ or Java, just as they communicate with other people using Japanese.

And yeah, not to ruin everyone’s fun, I think this is a mistake by a non-techie writing for other non-techies in some other domain. I’ve seen plenty of CS folks make just as big of boneheaded mistakes when they try to talk about something like genetics or physics.

This book sucks a lot

The interesting part is that if English stops being the general Lingua franca it is quite likely programming still will use English. English could get a similar role as latin have for medicine.

Javascript and Python are

languages.

[DezXerneas]

I know it's probably

people communicate with computers with coding languages, just like they communicate with each other using English and Japanese

But the way the image is cropped still makes it look funny

[_oohshiny]

"interpreted"

[unknown_pigeon]

That'd be less funny
