    Wow, GitHub is not handling that RTL text well. (Or FF on Android is to blame, can’t compare at the moment)

    English is not my first language and I have recently thought a lot about the impact of language in other fields. Programming is one, but to be fair the number of keywords is very limited and not too hard to learn. We had programming in school and while we already had English as well, I don’t think it’s a hard requirement.

    Science is also very heavily impacted. The primary language is English, so if you are good at physics and suck at language learning - well tough luck because you can’t do science without knowing English first. The number of people who’s scientific progress and subsequent beneficial impact on the world is stunted, just because they did not learn English…

    Your programming language will probably not take off, but I like the idea behind it.

      I’m not the creator fyi.

      I don’t think it was meant to be actually used, it’s more an experiment, art piece and passion project
