Interesting. Does programming use this creative language part of the brain or more mathematical?
I have found that some songs with English lyrics as being distracting but not as much as people talking on the telephone in an office space

Then there is the notion of doing hardcore coding. Maybe that’s more logic or a combination of logic and pattern recognition.
Also as a 10+ year musician, I prefer programming (or any task that needs focus) without any sound. Listening to music, makes me noticeably more relaxed in a "bad way", and I definitely can't get into the nitty gritty of an actual problem, with anywhere close of a hyperfocus "shit is real" kind of attitude.
Music can get me in the mood, but when I get there and the music is off, it's 5 hours later and I wrote a figurative 1000 lines of working code.
