This rant is triggered by reading a post just now where the writer displays some computer programming code with no commentary about what language is involved. It reminds me of the many times that I see people writing about code and using the word “code” in a context where the reader should have some understanding of what is the pertinent language in order to understand properly and react appropriately.
In order to improve inclusiveness in our community, we programmers should make a point of telling people what is the language, and perhaps even adding some references to help those who might like to learn more about the syntax and other rules of that particular language.
It would be really nice if there is a place (URL) where we can go to find out who are the ready-to-be-helpful experts on language X. Stack Exchange and Quora are great resources for people with technical questions; but experts within our community might be especially helpful.

I used to code for SCADA and DCS systems.
I got out of that business when I started having to program in 4 or 5 different languages per week....
Im a farmer now and my ulcers and migrains have all disappeared!

I'm sure that the following information will tickle your funny bone.
Over my professional life I have at one time or another used close to a dozen languages, and I think that without much effort I could start doing serious work in at least five of them today. Just the other day, as I began to contemplate doing some development work (for my you own use) in some particular cryptocurrency environments of interest, I realized that I'm probably going to end up having to learn somewhere between four and six new languages!
I have not yet answered the question as to whether I really want to do that! However, I am thinking that I will not have a choice because I have to get to the point where I've decided to focus on one of them and right now that decision about which one would be premature.
