There are some in here, used for teaching children in schools. I never used them though as I was in Biology class and not Computers... -
micfort1377yThat everything is in English is something from the last 30 years or so, before that a lot was in German, especially in the electronics.
But you need some language, and no one actually choose it, it was naturally born because the most programmers (in the early days at least) spoke English.
It is actually nice that in our field everyone speaks English, in a lot of fields you must learn multiple languages to understand everything. -
It's just how the cookie crumbled.
The US were a world power right as computers boomed into the world, English being the dominant language of computing was inevitable in that environment. It's not some white supremacy conspiracy dude.
There's plenty of horrible fucking things that my people and culture caused, and I'm sorry for that, but programming being dominated by English isn't one. -
wizzzard8057yThe sooner all individual cultures and languages are absorbed into one global culture and a common language for all, the better. Vote for me as god-emperor of Earth, and I will put globalization on the agenda for real and unify all human beings as citizens of The One True Empire and make everyone use only one language (Klingon, High Valyrian, Quenya or Finnish. There will probably be a referendum to guide my decision on this).
A vote for me is vote against badly dubbed movies and TV-shows! -
I don't care either way but from a logic point of view there are a lot of English words that have no equivalent in another language. So as far as explanation or naming conventions go English would be the most universal and least ambiguous

philcr30547yIt drives me nuts that most languages use American English color instead of colour, center not centre

RAZERZ8Me: so, I heard you do programming! What language? Person: ehhh, English...?
The fact that the world of technology and programming is entirely built on English temrinology irritates me.
The Anglo-American conspiracy never stops manifesting itself, even through programming languages.
