Said by someone who only speaks one language? Nice Idiom: shame if something were to happen to it.

It is SO EASY to prove this (literally just talk to any multilingual and watch their entire personality shift when they change languages {some languages have larger gaps}, they themselves don't often notice the effect)!

>On the topic of languages at least.

At least, you say... hmmm... why does that raise ALL THE RED FLAGS...

> Some technologists seem to want to get rid of all ostensibly useless things. More than one language being one of them.

which is why programmers keep inventing new languages (rust), which is the defacto standard everyone uses now. /s

Your arguments are as singularly cultured as what you argue for.... Which - as it so happens to be - (the quality of your arguments) is exactly my argument against such a future state.

And on one more note: Dave Ackley has some nifty ideas about the opposite of efficiency being robustness instead of waste. having a monoculture promises efficiency, but with that comes a brittleness that will cut us.
