I’ve observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.

If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?

I have interest in both types, but it is not like they are correlated. Computer languages are more logical and human languages are more abstract.

Exactly, is like asking if one should use light years to measure time, they come from time but measure distance.
On parallel note programming languages come from human languages but are meant to express CPU instructions rather than complex ideas and knowledge.
