Right, but that was not the issue. The issue was a language suited for rules and relations on the one hand, and a language of humor and expressiveness on the other.

Of course, today everyone publishes in English. And of course, many English words are used in German academia.

But there is no inherent property of the English language, why it is better suited to communicating topics in machine learning.

Then why don’t I hear people discussing it in German?

Why don't you hear people discussing in German on Hacker News? Is it because German is unsuitable for informal, everyday discussions?

What?

No, but I suppose you miss all the vocabulary you need to efficiently communicate about ML in German... Or why is it?
