Is Code Language? Or What?
If you’re a software developer, you write code; that is, you specify the functionality of a program by writing in a programming language like Java or C. You type code into a text file and the computer interprets or compiles it into something it can execute. But is this the same thing as, say, writing an essay in a natural language like English? Does it compare?
