I could make any program do anything i wanted. including translate every language
Luca
You'd still have to read it and learn every single pronounciation
HoodHustla
LOL, @Luca true but you ever heard of the "program" Rosetta Stone. Helps thousands of people learn different languages.
Blake
@HoodHustla Rosetta Stone needed to be created by someone (or in this case, multiple people), and taught the languages in the first place. You can't teach a program something that you don't know.
HoodHustla
True, I'll give you that one Blake, but the same can be said about someone who knows every language. At one point or another you're going to need an effective method of teaching massive amounts of people. And at the end of the day, in my opinion of course, programming simply has more value and opportunities than spoken languages.
Vesko
Yeah, you don't really understand how your programs work. You would need giant amounts of data, time and numerous language experts to do that.
ahaon
With a couple centuries of work, yes.
Advance
Every language would take a lifetime to learn, programming takes only 30 at max.
valcorwabajak
oh so you don't become good at it? ...
Twofor Joy Magpii
I could speak Chinese and just get them to do the work for me
grider
@advance Are you retarded? You would instantly master your choice.
HoodHustla
Personally I'd go with programming. I see at lot of potential in the mastery of every programming language, it would be an incredible résumé booster. You could virtually work for any company you wanted. Where as knowing every spoken language you are somewhat limited on what you can do,..unless you like traveling or just want to impress people.
Sebbern
Some people just don't understand us programmers.
Roey Kelner
Fuck off
ACFXS
NERDS!
rorytheroman
It was us NERDS that let you even TYPE THAT COMMENT!
Patrick
To the last centurian, I could learn to code, but all languages would take some time
Ian Crawford
roytheroman WIN
gardenGnostic
I know tons of programming languages anyway
Wyatt Greywolf Davis
Indeed, sir rorytheroman. Twas "nerds" who gave you the ability to search for internet porn. Check AND mate, "biatch!"
Rhys Campbell
Try saying that to my ridiculously oversized paycheck.
Diggler
Rory it was us language speakers that allowed you to type that comment.
iamawesomecat
Sign language forever
DrHawk144
You would make SO much money!
Demon1981
I would have a job in the CIA, FBI, practically any job involving a computer and I could also have so much more fun
Vesko
Have fun programming stuff?! No.
Rainbow Dash
Vesko obviously has never programmed something. There's nothing like sitting at a desk for hours on end, troubleshooting and coding, and seeing your program do whatever you wanted to do in the end without fail. It's the best feeling. Ever.
John
I would better hack.
theotherskywalker
20/80? really? apparently these people don't understand the power of programming.
HoodHustla
I completely agree. The world today practically runs off the accomplishments of fine programming.
Lunasoar
Us nerds could easily take over the world by reprograming every NASA and army computer. You would succumb to our rule
Korce
We have google translate for the languages... Created by programming.
Emily
Google translate is really inaccurate.
blazingpelt
If I was a master of every programming language, I could make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year.
Gracie
Being able to talk to a computer, being able to talk to people. I chose people.....
Marko Rudan
It says master so you'd still know english
xereeto
Yes please, that would be so good for me.
Poohunter
Good programming = good jobs, good jobs = good money
Waqqas Sheikh
For programming languages, if you know one, you pretty much know'em all.
Steven
If only you knew how wrong you are.
Alvo Razzi
I would be able to mac on all those foreign exchange Asian girls I've been seeing everywhere!! Fuck Yeah!
Sashia
How do you think Bill Gates got so rich!! If you could master every programming language you could develop a software company and become mega rich, what are you going to gain by knowing a load of languages???
Brayden Braybuscus F
If I mastered every coding langue I could make the best websites, the best games, the best programs and be super rich. if I mastered every spoken langue i'd just know a lot of stuff I never need to use.
HoodHustla
My point exactly.
Alexander Carlsson
Not really there's a lot more than programming going into that. Stuff like animation, textures, sound engineering, characters, story, interface design and so on.
Sora20030c
Programming languages could help me master regular questions so.....kinda obvious
Sora20030c
change questions to languages :P
Vesko
No, they wouldn't. This makes no sense at all. Like saying be a pizza eating champion would help you win a Nobel prize in mathematics.
BlueTyphoid
Cash money
TheOnionCat
Program a universal translator? :D Well, I can certainly appreciate this, since I have trouble enough with Java :P
Crissy
Why not both?
Kylie
I'd rather be able to travel around the world without a language barrier and be able to speak to people of different people from different cultures easily Also knowing a difficult language and becoming a translator could probably make you a lot of money
wontonst
Just because you mastered a language doesn't mean you know anything about programming design and architecture. Plus once you master one programming language you pretty much have 80% of the other ones down. Not so much for spoken language. In terms of time alone it would take a much longer time to master a spoken language than a programming one.
RC1359
First off, 80% of programming languages arent the same. Second, no two programming languages are alike, just like speech. Third, just because you mastered one language doesnt mean you can speak another. Ever.
Skylar Jones
includes animals and baby :P "he wants his name to be doomagedin though"
GupyF
Can Swooze girls with the Romance languages. Can Visit anywhere, and be right at home Or I can learn programming, sit in my house and wank off to wonderful wonderful porn while being pretty rich. I gotta say...Its a tough one, But my hands are calosued enough as it is so swoozing XD
Tyler Congaman Sorell
Think of the money you could make with all the knowledge of coding!
WallofSoup
You can go anywhere and operate
danishlemon
Maybe then I could actually speak Danish
Ryanar
If i mastered every spoken language, teamed up with someone who knows every Programming Lingo. Trillions of dollars will be made
HoodHustla
I'll actually agree with you on this one.
Nimberoxfei
i guess if you mastered the programming languages you can create a device that you can attach to your mouth that would translate everything you say into chosen languages
Lee
Mastering programming languages would make it easier to hack into banks and crap without leaving a trail. I could be freaking rich.
setrakakan
I could probably make more money with the programming.
blackman69
Fuck computers nigga
HoodHustla
Very well spoken. Congrats.
blackman69
Fuck computers nigga
Noodletron
@blackman69 Fuck YOU.
Toby Lurio
Programmers make incredible amounts of money if they're good at their jobs.
uThermal
Programming desires will increase in the future..
Kendall Walls
more potential to make money
Ahmed Mohmed Khamees
I can play all JRPG games that have no english translet, and manga and anime, and write good comment here :'(
steve
programming languages are very similar
BlooporialDude
With spoken languages you have dead languages that wouldn't be useful. With programming, at least I could do something useful.
Crissy
Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, ect. You're telling me those languages aren't useful?
John
Yes but if you know the language you could bring it back because you could teach people
HoodHustla
@Crissy, I'm sure what he ment was that he could some much more with programming. With spoken languages, really all you can do is communicate with people and teach others how to speak various languages.
Kativla
There are useless programming languages as well.
John
Here is a red John. And I seem to be the blue one.
Emily
Translating historical documents!
David S.
There are thousands of spoken languages.
Velvet Diamond
programming; I would love to do everything on the computer
RC1359
Pshhhh make my own game for $30 and just get one of these other people to translate it :u Besides an influx on people learning every language would decrease its value in society, whilst the minority (programmers) are already growing in demand now, would only increase in their value
Avonlea
You could get so rich knowing every programming language that you could hire translators.
jhonney
I want to learn java and bianary
TraceurNox
People are paying good money now in the computer age for people whom can program well.
Charles Smith
THINK OF THE MONEY
EximinusVenenum
Could get a job paying almost 200k a year if you mastered them all perfectly. That's if you don't start your own company and make a shit ton of money. Boom
Starreh
IM GOING TO FRANCE!
Leonard Leijenhorst
Programming language of DNA! Let's create some stuff!
Molly
Master EVERY spoken language? I could learn fictional languages too!
