> I'll claim that there's not real thing such as a "language brain" or "math brain.

Did you even read beyond the silly headline?

The article itself is about pre-testing subjects on a range of capabilities from problem solving ability to second (foreign) language learning ability, and then seeing how these correlated to the ability of the test subjects to learn to code.

The results were basically exactly what might be expected - people who learned Python the quickest were those who scored the best at learning a second language, and those who learned to wield it the best were those who had scored the best at problem solving.

Not surprisingly math ability wasn't much of a predictor since programming has little to nothing to do with math.
