> too much English-centric.
Pretty glad about it considering how much more simpler ASCII was to work with compared to Unicode.
I say it as a non native english speaker, programming has so many concepts and stuff already, its best not to make it more complex by adding a 101 different languages to account for.
Unicode and Timezone, the two things that try to bring more languages and cultures to be accounted for while programming and look what happens, it creates the most amount of pain for everyone including non native english programmers.
I dont want to write computer programs in my non-english native tongue, if that means i’ll have to start accounting for every major language while im programming.
Its fine that IT discussions are so English-centric. Diversity is more complexity, and no one owns the english language, its just a tool used by people to communicate, thanks to that universal language, I can express my thoughts to most people in India, China, Japan, South America, etc due to having 1 common language.
They all own the english language too, the moment they decided to speak in it.
No need to bring diversity politics in IT.
Best to keep it technical.
