This is by no means unique to programming. Many areas of knowledge are less accessible to those who don't speak English, and much more so to those who don't speak any of the dozen major languages. Because of this, many people will simply learn (enough) English. It's not such a big deal.
In my view, having a single lingua franca is nice. It better facilitates knowledge transfer. I wouldn't want to see a fracturing where each area of knowledge (or, say, every specialization/application programming) is best treated in a distinct linguistic community. That would be bad for everyone.
