minus-squareCyno@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 年前I’m not disagreeing outright but… Why do we need more non English programming languages? Is there a specific practical reason? The only language translation I’d maybe consider to accept in programming is Esperanto. Anything else just sounds like a terrible idea.

minus-squareCyno@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 年前I agree completely. The discussion was what we replace English with however. I’m not in favor of replacing English, I’m just saying if we want an alterantive I don’t want it to be a nation-specific language again, so to speak.
