    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.

        It’s a neutral, easily accessible language. Having it in programming could incentivize more people to learn it as well.

          English has become the defacto lingua franca. I’d argue that Esperanto is less accessible than English, because barely anyone knowns it.

            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.
