    I get that you’re probably joking, but note that calling C++ etc. “languages” is at most synecdoche. A really common one, but still a figure of speech.

    (Language has multiple functions; referential, directive, expressive, phatic, metalinguistic, poetic, metalinguistic etc. Those instruction sets used when programming are at best directive speech only, as they’re basically issuing commands to something.)

      I am fully aware, I speak nerd and computer.

      The computers speak back. It’s a good time.

      I might be going insane?

      I’m also ripping off being inspired by another comment.

      Poe’s law strikes again?
