        @WSJ @triketora English is to clear communication IRL just like C++ is for programmers - powerful, widespread but with dangerous gotchas.

        @WSJ Maybe true for small children but not so at academic levels, for which abilities to handle abstract concepts count a lot more.

        @WSJ How about French? Its system for forming the names of numbers is even messier than English, yet there is no doubt they are good at math
