Computers speak binary, not English - and computer code has almost nothing to do with Anglo dominance.
Have a look at a map.

Computers speak voltage, not binary. Come on. Do you write software using binary ?
Technology speaks English.
In theory, you can invent the wheel and use Arabic for programming. Good luck finding resources and finding users who are willing to use your new programming language that uses Arabic alphabet and use your Arabic javadoc.
Using multiple languages to achieve the same goal is stupid. Pure overhead. English dominates the world, end of story.
English as the dominant language in Science is a new thing, just 100 years ago it was German.
