As many others observe as well, one of the major reasons to write is to firm up ideas in one’s own head. Serializing an idea out into English words is still no guarantee one understands it deeply, but it is great progress over a very fuzzy idea that has never been fleshed out at all. I’ve known for a long time I wanted to sit down and write this out. But I had no idea how many principles I’ve either drawn out from my times with functional languages, or had sharpened by them forcing me on to cer

photo_Pawel/Getty Images We ran a piece last year summarizing an IEEE study of programming-language popularity based on job listings. This article fostered conversation, including debates about whether the languages IEEE used in its survey were even languages. Most of us are familiar with polls and poll results, especially during campaign seasons. Unfortunately, polls have long been proven to be far from accurate. Some polls have a natural bias for one party or the other (not for nefarious rea

rob dobi/Getty Images Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has become significantly entrenched in our lives. But popular AI products are set up to serve primarily American and European interests, despite being touted as global tools democratizing access to technology, from the use cases they're applied to the languages they speak. Several African researchers outside tech's US nucleus are trying to challenge that status quo and, with it, the bigger power dy

A few weeks ago, when I was at the digital rights conference RightsCon in Taiwan, I watched in real time as civil society organizations from around the world, including the US, grappled with the loss of one of the biggest funders of global digital rights work: the United States government. As I wrote in my dispatch, the Trump administration's shocking, rapid gutting of the US government (and its push into what some prominent political scientists call “competitive authoritarianism”) also affects

There is a common metaphor for hyperspace travel in science fiction, where some scientist type explains how the FTL works by taking a piece of paper, drawing a line on it to demonstrate “normal” travel, then folding the paper to bring the origin and destination together. Imperative code affords straight line approaches to problem. I have some code. It does 73 things.

This is what we have to put up with in the software localisation industry. Sentences in all languages can be templated as easily as in English: {user} is in {location} etc. Words that are short in English are short in other languages too. For any text in any language, its translation into any other language is approximately as long as the original. For every lower-case character, there is exactly one (language-independent) upper-case character, and vice versa. The lower-case/upper-case dist
