This is a very cool language. We are working on a generic localized programming language (https://citrine-lang.org/ https://citrine-lang.org/) and we are looking for help with the Chinese language, maybe the creators of this beautiful language want to help us out with the Chinese version?
- scarmig 7y agoFYI, you write that the language is for "every man," which would be off-putting for some contributors.
- big_chungus 7y agoIt seems that he's specifically trying to make it accessible to a wider audience; why would that be off-putting?
- macintux 7y agoParticularly in a field which is known for a less-than-enthusiastic embrace of female contributions, “every man” is less inclusive than “every person” or “everyone”.
- dang 7y agoHN has a lot of users (millions, most likely) whose native language is not English, so it's a good idea to remember that not everyone here is familiar with the standards that we may take for granted.
- scarmig 7y agoOf course. The intention was to provide information so that they could improve their copy, not to preen.
- hhas01 7y agoAt risk of giving HN’s more delicate male readers their daily attack of the vapors: Such thoughtless dismissal of half the human race is not a good look for a product claiming to improve accessibility.
