Instead of learning english those people will now struggle both with english and programming, it is really a disservice. And when you'll collaborate with people using poorly translated terminology you'll struggle too.
- dagmx 5y agoThis is such a self centered colionolist attitude. Not everyone is going to be collaborating with foreigners. Even if a programming language is based around an English view, many company APIs may be based on their own primary communication language. Or it may just help someone who's still great at communicating in English to work more efficiently, when English isn't their primary language. Choice is good. Don't force your English centric world view on everyone.
- 5560675260 5y agoIt might look like there is a choice, but there is one good option and many bad ones. As long as english stays lingua franca, it will be the default language of every specs, docs and tool that matter. Even if development happens outside of anglosphere - nobody wants to get locked out of international community. There is just no getting away from this, unless Yellowstone eruption erases most of US and China gets to be a world leader. > Not everyone is going to be collaborating with foreigners Sure, someone can work for a pittance on an internal market. Handicapping you career like this is an example of a bad choice that I'm talking about. You wouldn't even be able to get a job in any decent company without going through an english language test first. This isn't obvious only if you yourself live in US and naively think that every other country is equally ripe with opportunity.
