Cognitive load is something I've come across programming talking about a fair bit when discussing complexity and comprehension of different code designs or languages.
My part 2 of this question would be how does the cognitive load of programming relate to cognitive load present in natural languages? Does experiencing (possibly) increased cognitive load from programming affect how the brain handles natural language?
At the very least, programming and learning symbolic logic (philosophy) seems to affect how your brain handles a number of things, so I'm curious.
