> why don't we use any software that comes out of east Asia? Ruby Language is driven by Matz from Japan. I'm sure there are other projects from East Asia as well that I can't name at the moment. If you're using a Nintendo Switch or a Playstation, those are also developed by Japanese companies in East ASia. If you want to look at smartphone apps developed in East Asia, there are many that are very influential such as Line in Japan, Kakao in Korea, WeChat and Alipay in China, etc. Granted these smartphone apps use either Java or Objective-C but they are 'made in East Asia." In fact, for the China smartphone market, because China blocks most non-Chinese Internet services via the Great Firewall (i.e. Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) the vast majority of Chinese apps are made in China. If you don't live in China or Japan or Korea, you probably don't use the apps that are made for those markets.
