For Latin-based language speakers like Spanish, Italian, or French, learning programming in English might not be a huge hurdle. But for people whose native languages use completely different scripts (Chinese, Arabic, Sinhala, etc.), the challenge is much greater.

You mentioned that you rarely search for programming-related content in Spanish. Do you think that’s because English is simply better suited for programming, or is it more about the lack of high-quality programming resources in Spanish?

If programming had built-in support for multiple scripts while keeping a universal structure, do you think more people would use resources in their native language?

Even if I can learn programming concepts in spanish or any other language, I will need to use english to communicate with my peers. Building a jargon for concepts that I cannot communicate is a lost of time. No one will understand me (maybe not even other spanish speakers) if I refer to a stack as a "pila". So yes, even with high quality content in other languagues, I stil be refering to english version.

That said, if in the future that status quo changes, and chinese dominate the programming world...well, then I'll be reading in chinese (and I will have a hard time doing so)
