Language as the Ultimate Weapon
Regarding the question about "Why is the Nineteen Eighty-Four novel by George Orwell relevant to a student taking the Programming Language course?" I'm not entirely sure how it can be related but I'll do my best.
On programming languages it is fairly common to hear a lot of names, Java, C#, Swift, among others; each person has it favorite and when we found that favorite we begin to have a sort of disgust against the others, we may see the pros of them but we focus more on their cons, we wish that our favorite language were the only one in existence and this may be good or bad, depending on each one.
As the reading said, some people is more susceptible to some things than others, one may understand a programming language as if it were born with it but to other it may never get the hang of it but no because is dumb, his mind behaves different thanks to the language he chose.
This variety in languages is good in which it allows for different kinds of people to find a language that better suits the mind and actual spoken language from an individual, people will get along with the language that better allows them to express what they want the way they want. We may have heard that if it only existed a universal language everything would be better and easier but it is funny how we make things better and easier by making them even more different, each day I see that the list of known languages to me gets extended to creepy levels and it is a small list compared to the real list.
There are somethings in which just one option may be enough for everybody but things that involve mind, thought and language just can't be pleased with one, it is impossible, the only way that that could happen is by imposing a universal language like in the book were everybody can express the same way and thereby think the same way.
