If I am not wrong German was supposed to be a dual language in the United Stated but the German migrants there who contributed to founding the country lost their cultural access; and as someonein love with works by Goethe and inspired by other European authors, I believe the loss of European languages is a humanitarian cultural heritage loss; and a German comapny should endeavour to hire individuals who are interested in German language and culture. Sacrificing a temporary short-term ease of in finding employees at the cost of cultural loss is not wise, imao.


the irony must be lost on me here, but I began writing Rust in German and never I had as much fun programming as since I began using German as main language. Forgetting about Kamel or Kebab case? Love it. German is awesome for programming, imao.

PS. I speak Persian, know Arabic, Serbian too but none offer the ease of text to code as German.
