One response to “Tim Cook: Learning to code is more important than learning English”
Unless you’ve learned a human language well enough first, it’ll be very hard to learn Swift or any other programming language. And if you have not learned a human language first, precisely enough, you won’t be able to communicate with others well enough to understand problems to solve and what you need: Tim is insane!
