> maybe they should start learning Chinese.

Despite all the cool Matrix aesthetic, I dread to think of a programming language in Chinese.

As my handle would imply I've spend most of my career in Japan. Paradoxically some of the best coders among Japanese are the worse English speakers--perhaps an inverse-correlation. It's not uncommon to see code comments in Japanese (or Chinese for that matter in China.)

The Chinese are consumate pragmatics. I think that it is more probable that we will be thinking of english as ONE OF the chinese languages 100 years from now than they forcing mandarim to us.

And I am not completely joking.
