I understand your concern. To support your point I also belive that It
may happen even franch, chinees and russian
as a language will not survive in global envirnemnt. But they will
always survive in their local place.
In small cities, towns and villiges, english can not penitrate in even
next 20-50 years.
My prospective is, such kind of efforts are targeted for those
people. For example, we started learning science and mathematics
with Hindi medium and later at intermediate level (12 level)
everything changed to english. The same would be advanatge of
introducing these local language based computer courses. And
programming and the related tools will definately help student to
think more logical.
As far as custmores are concerned, anybody can buy softwares made by
these languages. Does it matter if a software is written in c or c++
or java?
Specifically as I said earlier, the major advanatage of such software
would be for people who has very specific needs. For example, in a
office somebody need to do to schedule some jobs/person every month
and it consume a lot of time and mind. If a local programmers - like a
6th class student is made to understand his problem and code it in the
computer, the problem may be solved. The software designed by student
may not be good in efficieny or data structure but if works that is
good enough. And I guess it should not be un-imaginable to get a 10
year old to solve a well defined problem.
I hope I made my point.
Cheers,
Neeraj
