Ask HN: Harder to learn- spanish or php?

Yes.

It all depends on your background. How many languages do you speak already? How many do you program in?

Are you learning "mainstream" Spanish, or a dialect? PHP for WordPress or PHP for Laravel? PHP 5 or PHP 7?

This morning, I was thinking about sí vs si and how confusing that was when I was first learning Spanish. Before I understood they were two different words, I had to wrap my brain around a different way of thinking when I put a sentence together.

I learned PHP in the 4.x days, and it was so close to writing C or basic Java. It could be embedded in HTML content like a JSP snippet. I just had to learn a little syntax.


Is this some kind of troll question?

Cualquier lenguaje humano es mucho mas complejo que cualquier lenguaje de programación


No estas la troll pregunta. Pero yo aprecio your answer.
