Like George Harrison used to sing: "I've got my mind seeeet on youuu". That's exactly what I'd sing, if linguistics was a person.

Sadly (or happily) it is not.

For one reason or another it appears that these days one can't get a linguistics' education without having to code just a bit, so that's basically the reason I even bothered in the first place. But, at the end of the day, I must say, coding is kinda fun and fascinating, so I don't regret a second of it.
