I was listening to this podcast and at the 25:24 mark the person being interviewed started talking about supporting keywords in different languages in her programming language, Hedy. So basically the idea is that you don't have to use English at all to program. While this would be challenging, I could see this as a way for Roc to gain popularity quickly especially if the market for non-English programming languages has very little competition. (I have no idea what that market is like as I am a native English speaker) No hard feels if you feel like it's not worth it! :smile:

Another podcast listener also brought this up earlier :)
We discussed it here.
John Konecny (Jun 10 2024 at 11:51):Cool! I need to do a better job at searching the posts. :laughing:
Anton (Jun 10 2024 at 12:59):No problem, we've discussed a lot over the past years, I don't expect people to comb through all of it every time they want to share something :p
