I don't think that's a bug. I think that's a rather nice feature that programmers all over the world can talk to each other. Programs are written for other programmers to read and only incidentally for a computer to execute.

I feel the same way. Modern science standardized around English and I don't mind programming standardizing around English also.

Will you mind when everything re-standardizes around Chinese?

Given China's ongoing demographic collapse [0] it is unclear how that could happen, not to mention why.

If and when that ever happens I'll be dead by then, so no :)

But I hope humans of the future can standardize around something. It's better than the alternative.
