Programming is done entirely in english so even if the US collapses English will still be the lingua franca of the world.

I dont get why nobody thinks or mentions this but english being the "programmer tounge" will be immensely significant for this and future generations

Don't you have your own languages like C++ and Python though?

>>211784079
>C++ and Python though?
It is in english too. Else, print, if, untill, those are all english words

>>211784190
Aren't they conlangs like Esperanto though? It has a lot of loanwords too.

>>211784214
I haven't found a single loanword in python

Even soviet sissies coded in basic and C on Eлeктpoникa-whatever computers.

>>211784418
Those aren't loanwords
Are you stupid?

Every doctor in the world has to be pretty good in English too

Because most worth while text books and research is written in English.

The first programming language I learnt was a dialect of BASIC with German keywords

It makes sense that important things should have a standardized language

English was already the language of the sea.
When a russian warship communicates with a chinese warship via bridge-to-bridge what language do you think they speak in?

>>211784918
Manchurian?

>>211784960
WRONG!

>>211784056 (OP)
We should translate them

>>211784985
To which language I wonder?

>>211784842
A lot of our text books in radiology were in Russian however. They apparently have a very strong base in that.

So? Music is written in Italian.

>>211784918
Not so much at sea due to existing semaphore flags and non verbal signals. For aeroplanes, definitely but it has evolved into its own sub-language of Aviation English.

What a fucking retard lmao. The real ligua franca of the programming world is HEX + the architecture of your hardware's processor.

>>211784056 (OP)
There already is ChinesePython plus some others, it's not too hard to swap out keywords. But LLMs obviate the need for any of that

this is english in the same way indian is "english"

>>211784056 (OP)
English is the only lingua franca that's existed.
literacy for the majority let alone those of a foreign language happened since the 20th century.
At no other point in time has a commoner that isn't a traveller, upper class or a monk could understand a foreign language.

My grandfather was a chemist and taught himself German, because at the time all chemistry textbooks were in German. Perhaps people at the time thought German would be the language of chemistry forever

programming soon will be irrelevant, AI will do all the coding
