Interesting bits from your page:

> All strategists, regardless of ideology, will tell you that in order to ensure France's independence, it is necessary to build alliances with Russia, China, and Iran

> As activists, we cannot call for an armed struggle against American imperialism without exposing ourselves to the wrath of the empire, because we are too deeply entangled with the American empire (this could be done later, once France has left the North Atlantic Alliance, if a blockade were imposed on us as it was on Cuba...).

I've always been of two minds about this. I get the pushback against anglicisation - many in the world don't speak or wish to speak English. But, surely, we can all agree that adopting a lingua franca is beneficial for most; this way, people from China, South America, Korea, Sri Lanka, and Germany have a common method to implement interfunctional systems.

De-Anglicizing Programming Collective Hispano-Latin Standard — Let's Build Tomorrow's Keywords Together This proposal was launched on August 4, 2026, using AI. I am now completing the initial presentation phase. URL: https://program.toile-libre.org/DP/index.htm The issue is obviously highly political. But in reality, it is ultimately cultural and professional. If you are interested in creating a community to discuss it, I have started on Facebook (see group https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61593786701549 ).

To be a slightly more neutral It'd be a nice opportunity to base it on esperanto.

The page is its own argument against de-anglicisation of programming: it shows in french for me. I don’t speak french.

English is good enough for being the lingua franca of programming, technology and science.

It’s frankly one of the last issues we should be bothering with.

Let the stupid foreigners have their pride. They are lightyears behind us in the United States mentally.

We invent everything.

The rest of the world pretends to be superior. As they play catch up. Decades later.

Consider an Indian: an Indian is basically an animal. An animal in clothing with flashy gold and the latest Tesla etc. - but a dumb animal.

But they will speak as if they are so superior!

Let them try to make a foreign language LLM or invent anything novel.

I think it’s funny. As you pointed out it didn’t even work lol

Nothing they (non-Americans) do or say is correct
