Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what's going on but I don't. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I'm asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.

What language would that be?

They aren't talking about a programming language, just the graphical tools in the programs you already have.

If you are interested in simple automation for your computer, learn python. If you are interested in simple automation in a browser, learn JavaScript.

I don't know what needs to be automated though.
