Why is Japan so weak in software?

  Asians in particular are not that good at writing software, unless you are china and have thousands dedicated to a project

    This is a strange comment. Majority of SWEs in FAANGs are Asian: https://www.statista.com/statistics/311815/google-employee-ethnicity-department-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/311815/google-employee-e... most of the software you like was probably written by Asians.

  Japan isn't that weak in embedded (Tron, game consoles, all in-house firmware for cameras using VLIW CPUs) and research-adjacent fields like HPC and surprisingly, Lisp: https://github.com/fukamachi https://github.com/fukamachi https://github.com/guicho271828 https://github.com/guicho271828 https://github.com/cxxxr https://github.com/cxxxr https://github.com/sasagawa888 https://github.com/sasagawa888 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Common_Lisp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Common_Lisp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Generation_Computer_Systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Generation_Computer_Syst...
