      @mohfunk @indiesaudi sure. my conclusion was that industry-grade programming will remain English, and I can't find a way past that. languages that are limited in scope for education do not have the same burdens and are more free as a result.

    @mohfunk @indiesaudi this is just me, but i imagine the moment a child who learned to program in arabic realizes that there's a ceiling on what they can do in their own language, and in order to learn "real" programming they have to learn english anyway. thats not a moment im excited to build towards

      @mohfunk @indiesaudi which is why i stopped working on قلب when i did. but there is certainly a lot of unexplored space in non-English programming languages and i'm interested in what you come up with. also, you should talk to @Simplyahmaz1ng, who is working on a language called noor.
