It also reduces the surface area of collaboration, sharing, open sourcing, security audits, etc. We have standardized in English and it is as arbitrary as any other language - English just happens to be the one chosen.
This whole thing needs to be condemned, we get it - its fun to do something about your local language and be proud of your culture - everyone is. You should be. But, trying to peddle this into mainstream is a monumentally catastrophic. I don't want the world to be fragmented - we need to get together and build better tools.

- systemvoltage 6y agoDo you think its fair to require everyone to follow any standard? Think of English not in the context of cultural importance/language but more formally as a de facto standard. A professional would follow the standards. This is why we have IETF. It is unquestionable and indisputable that standardization improves the world. That said, comments are probably fine in local language.
