For a fact, this paper had been quoted and superficially extended several times by Sanskrit scholars I have met in the past. Typical arguments include the 'semantics is suitable for knowledge extraction', to 'replacing English as the modicum of computer instruction set' (supported by claims for disambiguity in grammar) [1,2]. There is no evidence to support these ideas. Like 'lewisjoe', I am from the same subcontinent and share the very same opinion. The reasons are more political signaling and intellectual statement delivery than actual science.[3] A similar claim that I have heard from half baked biologists is that gene constituents ACTG will replace binary encoding in future computing (because ACTG have 4 elements as compared to binary 2, and we are the living proof it works!). While genes were researched in MSR for high density storage (Source: yours truly ex-MSR alumnus working with CS+genetics team), there is no hard evidence a base-4 biological system will inherently perform better than the mathematical base-2. We always had octal and hexadecimal bases. These have their strength and weakness. But from the CPU perspectives, base-2 perfectly encodes HI and LO voltage states and hence the adoption. I wish such researchers took a bit of efforts to investigate their claim's feasibility and the underlying processing structure before making grand statements about computational roadmaps. 1. https://bstrategyhub.com/sanskrit-is-the-best-language-for-artificial-intelligence-says-nasa/amp/ https://bstrategyhub.com/sanskrit-is-the-best-language-for-a... 2.https://scroll.in/article/750526/how-sanskrit-came-to-be-considered-the-most-suitable-language-for-computer-software https://scroll.in/article/750526/how-sanskrit-came-to-be-con... 3.https://www.firstpost.com/india/the-sanskrit-non-controversy-why-it-is-indeed-a-superior-language-1813201.html https://www.firstpost.com/india/the-sanskrit-non-controversy...
