      gollark: "not too complex"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
      gollark: We might end up seeing Chinese (don't think Chinese is an actual language - Mandarin or whatever) with English technical terms mixed in.
      gollark: Yes, because they have been (are? not sure) lagging behind with modern technological things, and so need(ed?) to use English-programmed English-documented things.
      gollark: Which means piles of technical docs are in English, *programs* are in English, people working on technological things are using English a lot...It probably helps a bit that English is easy to type and ASCII text can be handled by basically any system around.
      gollark: I don't think it was decided on for any sort of sane reason. English-speaking countries just dominated in technology.
