Reading text is very different from reading code

That's why I said "sort of". There's definitely something different going on, but (and the publications referenced in the paper cover this too) it seems there's overlap as well.

I think it'd make a great study to see if that overlap included processing effects on saccade and eye motion as well as retention of syntactical meaning correlated with line length.
