Are you suggesting Lærke shouldn't be able to put her name in a filename? Or that I can't type my address, which contains ø?

- usrbinbash 5y ago> to use English as the "computer language" This is "computer language": for i := 0; i <= x.tctl_b(); i++ { v, e := x.getg[i].pop() if e != nil { log.Fatalf("%v\nloop", e) } } So is this imul 8(%rsp), %rax So is this shopt -s globstar && grep -sn '\xFF' ** Whether we translate the meaning of the above into Mandarin, English, Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, Farsi, Swhaili, Hindi, Latin, Klingon, Dothraki, Sindarin or any other spoken, written or invented language we chose to be comfortable with, makes exactly zero difference.
- collegeburner 5y agoI mean use English as a universal language for users interacting with computers. It is a good way to force people to learn and use English. Like how American materiel with English documentation did so before.
- schwartzworld 5y ago> It is a good way to force people to learn and use English. Why do we want to force programmers around the world to learn and use english?
- numpad0 5y agoSadly the language is part of thought process and English isn't really universal enough when it comes to representing every mode of thoughts. Whatever Chomsky et al argued is just a language equivalent of Turing completeness, like technically Scheme and Swift and Visual BASIC all compile into x86 and are Turing complete but you can't make a simple conversion tool to go between them.
