Why do you assume there is an innate pre-requisite to learn English to code? I challenge that assumption.

Do you not see the diversity/ingenuity of problem solving when you travel to different countries? What else are we missing in the Anglo world? Do you assume everyone should speak English when you travel to China, India or Peru?

Why can't open-source communities form in different languages? Many people speak more than 1 language and can share learnings across the communities, just like in the real-world.

Bottom line: the world is diverse, let's make coding reflect that.
