Interesting input.

I feel my first language i need to learn and improve is definitely English since people getting me as some ***** without any knowledge and very often missing my point. You have no idea how bad I feel with this. And maybe that's the reason why I am having so long monologues

Qole's twit - as well, but just curiosity when I see all the parts on the plate.

I agree with you, maybe argument about 1mln developers sounds surrealistic if we take quality of these people code and responsibility for being developer.

However, don't forget many of designers forced to learn code and keep developing themselves become good developers. Imagine somebody with potential but scare of 0 and once and no good teachers around. When things became more human readable and he could grow up with technology why not? I am one of them. Yes you can call me stupid and lack of computer science certificate unprofessional. But after when I enter this world 10 years ago I this kind of designer what represent my drawings by code. Truly understand art of programing now.

Believe me or not. I was defending and dying many times trying to explain to client flash developer colleague or boss why I should do something this way. Even more I had displeasure met former c++ programmers jumped to AS3 and I never seen so rubbish code in my entire life. They might me wonder if underneath this whole magic these kind of "professional developers" doing serious software from years how our technology is overbuild. And how much this game is playing in smoke and mirrors.

Because my curiosity I've started to dig to the bottom. Study whole history from 60's algorithms problems to solve. I always been computer geek and play around ZX spectrum Amiga - I remember even my first try with Amos even somebody at school tried to teach us Basic and Pascal but it didn't work. My Hobby was always electronic but analog. I failed on 0 and 1 because nobody could learn me. and there is many reasons why doesn't matter now. Now programing it's my lifestyle and even changed the way I am thinking.

I am far away from dump ALL this ppl who grew up with Flash but yes, All the bad development doing bad job for Flash Platform and guess what, I left my country because of that 2 years ago. A lot of talented programmers but with very conservative thinking. Serious Flash development in my country almost doesn't exist.

I agree with you that things are more and more clear and it's just a matter of syntax. But I don't agree with you that speaking one language is foolish.

Each platform has own limitations challenges and differences even frameworks on top of each language has own conventions and you have to learn new ways. And if programing for you is like logical speaking you simple cannot follow somebody different point of view. But as long as we can talk same language we can find some solution to build something together. Can you imagine this conversation If I'll start using my mother language because I feel more convenient with?

Nahh

I also see a danger that each technology can stick to one and being use by one corporation/institution. Same way fear against globalization between a nations to have one currency and language works for programmers as well I see. And this is good tool to control. If that analogy works in technology world it's just against of what programing is itself.
