De-Anglicizing Programming

Interesting bits from your page:

> All strategists, regardless of ideology, will tell you that in order to ensure France's independence, it is necessary to build alliances with Russia, China, and Iran

> As activists, we cannot call for an armed struggle against American imperialism without exposing ourselves to the wrath of the empire, because we are too deeply entangled with the American empire (this could be done later, once France has left the North Atlantic Alliance, if a blockade were imposed on us as it was on Cuba...).

I've always been of two minds about this. I get the pushback against anglicisation - many in the world don't speak or wish to speak English. But, surely, we can all agree that adopting a lingua franca is beneficial for most; this way, people from China, South America, Korea, Sri Lanka, and Germany have a common method to implement interfunctional systems.

De-Anglicizing Programming Collective Hispano-Latin Standard — Let's Build Tomorrow's Keywords Together This proposal was launched on August 4, 2026, using AI. I am now completing the initial presentation phase. URL: https://program.toile-libre.org/DP/index.htm The issue is obviously highly political. But in reality, it is ultimately cultural and professional. If you are interested in creating a community to discuss it, I have started on Facebook (see group https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61593786701549 ).

The page is its own argument against de-anglicisation of programming: it shows in french for me. I don’t speak french.

English is good enough for being the lingua franca of programming, technology and science.

It’s frankly one of the last issues we should be bothering with.

German has a habit of creating new words by stringing together existing ones.

Think “Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften” for “legal protection insurance companies”. Just one word, complex meaning.

One of the most hilarious pieces of C# code I have ever seen was one where names of all types - classes, methods, objects, etc. - were taken to the logical extreme.

Not camel case. Not snake case. Not Kebab case. Not pascal case.

Literal single words more than several dozen characters long accurately describing the item in question. Some were more than four dozen characters long, all one word.

It was glorious.

To be a slightly more neutral It'd be a nice opportunity to base it on esperanto.
