As a matter of fact, I know that English, as a natural language, is much more expressive in the sense that you can communicate many ideas using the same expressions.
Portuguese, for example, is much more expressive in the sense that you can communicate the same idea in many different ways, which may have different meanings.
There is also the contractions issue and the omission of the subject of an expression ("eu estava" == "eu tava" == "tava" == "I was"), which complicates it even more. And all of this is actually valid, depending on the linguist you "follow". ;)
Well, I did not make myself very clear, but this is what I wanted mean when I talked about expressiveness.
PS: I wanted to write something about linguistic relativity too, but I can't remember, lol.
My rather simplistic view: as a native Portuguese speaker, I strongly refute the idea of programming languages (and even coding) in a language other than English. Besides the obvious reasons (globalized world, outsourcing, multinational corporations, etc), English is much less expressive than the Romance languages [1], which makes it a better formal language.
There a nice book on "evil design patterns" called Evil by Design [1]. It's interesting knowing how we are manipulated (and how we can manipulate others, not necessarily for bad reasons) through design.
Some studies show that the medications efficiency is variable, but in college I did a long term study with elder people with dementia, and guess what was the conclusion? The ones that did not take meds had bigger cognitive losses, and the ones that did take meds on early dementia stages had a smaller loss.
