minus-squareCyno@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·hace 1 añoI’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.
