International auxiliary languages should be utilized in software development (to improve international collaboration). (lemmy.ml)

Given that international auxiliary languages allow for more efficient cooperation; I think more people should consider using an easily learnable IAL, like Esperanto.

IALs would reduce the English dominance that gate-keeps software development to English persons; and hence allow more potential software developers to better develop software. The English language is mostly dominant in software development because of linguistic imperialism.

I really just wish there was a simple, restricted vocab set, truly-international IAL. Esperanto is highly euroscentric, and ignores some of the most spoken language families in the world.

I'd thought that toki pona or !tokima@lemmy.ml could be an alternative, but its development seems dead unfortunately.
