Re: Does natural language skill translate to programming skill?

Hi David,

Some people would cite Perl as evidence that
linguists should be barred from using computers!

what would that mean?

I don't get it.

Most of the study of linguistics,
specially theoretical linguistics, involved programming,
especially long forgotten Prolog and Lisp.

Though programming may be like writing in former times.
IMHO, it is not an art of itself,
it is a common means of describing, analyzing
and sometimes solving problems.

Maybe you speak about philology.
Yes, keep philologist away from computing.
