Why I Still Skim Slashdot

The signal to noise ratio has gotten lower every year since I started visiting Slashdot almost 7 years ago, but every once in a while there will be an interesting topic that garners some great comments, like "Does Company-wide Language 'Standardization' work?"

Which garnered this comment and follow-up:

Standardize on Hindi~

Your company should standardize around Hindi - the new programming language in India - It is an extremely natural language - you write down your requirements in English (even on paper), send it via e-mail / snail mail to a supercomputer called "India", the "India" machine turns it into Hindi and feeds the information to a cluster of other India machines, known as "Indians" and then these "Indians" break it down into functions, write the code, put it back together, compile and send you the binary - you wont have to worry about what language they code it in!
