One thing that surprised me about non-English programming was that they didn't use some style subsitution of keywords with programming languages for their compilers. It seems like it would be a simpler solution even with tokenization potentially forcing some awkward word choices. Even considering the annoying bugs which could crop up with that I would have thought it would have been a thing. Apparently most just work with "the magic strings" or know enough English already.
That would be far more helpful than pretentious finger waggling at wide masses of people for not taking vastly unreasonable steps from the start. All from someone privledged enough to be paid or spend unpaid time for an ostentatious show project like this - in sharp contrast to how the actual non-English progammers act - adapting or rolling their own for their purposes.
The toxic attitude on the website negates any outreach of even a "interesting to see parralel evolved approaches" sense.
The 'not even trying to solve any problems just blame' is a personal pet peeve of mine.
