International auxiliary languages should be utilized in software development (to improve international collaboration). (lemmy.ml)

Given that international auxiliary languages allow for more efficient cooperation; I think more people should consider using an easily learnable IAL, like Esperanto.

IALs would reduce the English dominance that gate-keeps software development to English persons; and hence allow more potential software developers to better develop software. The English language is mostly dominant in software development because of linguistic imperialism.

I used to think this, yoo, and made a similar comment on Reddit a year or so ago. I was challenged to back up my assertion, and presented with some studies involving Esperanto clubs/groups in China and Japan that suggest it's not particularly difficult for non-Euro native speakers.

I wonder, are you referring to specific studies, or quoting common knowledge?
