    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.

          The problem with Esperanto is that it’s still very euro centric. I might nonetheless be willing to learn it, just because I get a kick out of watching native English speakers trying to speak a foreign language
