Today's random wikipedia page:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-En

stemming from recent thoughts I've had wondering what makes a programming language more "internationalizable". I consider myself very grateful that English is my first language and thus the barrier to entry and progression is much lower, but what about the rest of the world?

this thought first came to me after I had a brief discussion with a colleague who's from a Polynesian island and has ties to communities with their own less common languages. We talked about autonomy and how some of these communities want to learn to program computers and develop technology by themselves, for themselves.

The first question I thought to myself was "do they know English?". To me, that's the reality of mainstream programming languages and the ecosystem, which is unfortunate.
