And personally, I think that anyone who's using English as their
sole language on a regular basis should make a point of learning at
least one other language. Most don't, which is their loss, but they
still seem to get by OK most of the time.
Learning programming languages just isn't central to some peoples'
live, I guess.
My grandmother can program her oven, microwave, and TV. What the geek
language community hasn't learned is how to present itself in form
palatable and "natural" to the majority. Two-way street and all that.
Imagine, on a mailing list dedicated to scripting, at least a dozen
contributors having trouble pimping 'cd', 'ls', and regular
expressions :-).
