قلب: a non-ASCII programming language written in Arabic

Surprisingly (at least to me) when I had this discussion online in the past the biggest pushback I got against using another language in code was from non-native speakers. They all were highly comfortable, and preferred, that their "work language" was English.

For better or for worse, the world has settled on English as the lingua franca for business.

I imagine, however, that you don't hear much from the people who didn't become programmers because their English wasn't good enough.

Because they don’t exist? You can definitely learn programming following local language tutorials. It does not require learning English grammar or a large vocabulary. But you might need to communicate witn other people, especially if you’re doing open source.

I feel there is a point you want to make, but am not sure what it is.
