If you’re from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

  • No. The Soviets had one that was basically C but a decade early called Адрес (address). The higher-ups were skeptical of the concept of computers, though, so computing in the USSR languished anyway.

    I think the Chinese have something going too. Mostly educated global people know some English anyway, though.
