Blue pill indeed!!!
Just create an advanced translator which translates everything you say WHILE you're talking -
@parag0 I knew I came to the right place with this question....
I mean come on with that knowledge I can write an AI that perfectly translates speeches real time with audio...
*it already exists tho...with few Lang's* -
tecs328yAs someone who is pretty advanced (huehue, ego) in quite a few coding languages and can get around comfortably in most of the others, but shifting professionally to management and architecture; and speaking decently only two natural ones, but recently developed a strong interest in learning a lot more (and started to), there's no other choice for me but the red one.

Whoever picks red just doesn't comprehend what the blue pill entails.
This is one of the questions where there really is only one correct choice but most people are too dumb to realize it. -
Oceas9768y@deadlyRants this looks like a modified version of the same post a little while back. This adds the stipulation you can use a language to its fullest potential to make anything. The earlier version without this clause made a valid argument for red as it is harder to learn a language where as knowing all programming ones does not mean you could utilise them and thus it made sense for red at that time now it's definitely blue.

tecs328yI'd like to make a few points here...
Picking the programming languages buff over the natural ones', under the premise that with the newly attained coding prowess you could write an interpreter for all spoken languages, is fundamentally flawed. This doesn't take into consideration neither the massive time investment required, regardless of skill, or the extremely unfavorable effort-to-benefit ratio for the vast majority of implemented languages.
I would dare speculate that obtaining mastery of all natural languages, without the use of the pill, requires far more effort than doing so for the coding ones.
Language fluency is not only about knowing the vocabulary and grammar, but also the meaning (ultimate fluency would require full comprehension on the subject), its concepts (there are ideas that cannot be conveyed to, or out of some languages), and most importantly - the culture behind.
Not to say that this does not apply to coding as well - it's just not nearly as significant.

Grumpy28828yJust to be able to speak to every inhabitant in Malmö (south Swedish city, population about 300k), you'd need to know 150 languages. Takes a while to digest just that little portion of the red pill.
Or you could start taking NZT 48 and learn them all in half a year. Though the chances of someone actually creating a real life NZT 48 pill are rather slim. -
I don't need the blue pill. Learning new languages is half the fun. Besides that, I already have a good arsenal of languages under my belt.
Red pill for sure.
