   i like how we collectively agreed that localizing a programming language is insanity
   yet it’s what excel does lol

     @novenary @agatha @SoniEx2 Huh… and ironically Excel was shipped on IBM (International Business Machines).

     @agatha @SoniEx2 the worst part with excel is that it doesn't just translate function names in the UI, it actually stores them exactly that way, and doesn't mark the file with any kind of language code
     so if you open a file from someone else, it doesn't work :D

     @SoniEx2 the issue is when i want to search for code examples, and there is (usually) more content in english
     i now need to worry about what is the translation of those commands to my language

     that’s my problem with excel at least

     @agatha ... we're making a localizable programming language.
