I’m thinking culturally, long-term, EU has prioritised diversity of human languages more than coding skills. The evidence is in the global distribution of big software, first usa, also former soviet union, china, india, uk.
It might be said, that ideas emerge well here, but are nurtured (/ exploited ) across the pond. Also thinking from personal experience, my skill in coding, nurtured in one of those “anglo-saxon” countries, was not so appreciated here near the heart of the eu. Of course there are exceptions (especially known among us on lemmy), one example is scala language - as used in that twitter algorithm - which is mainly developed in switzerland + poland. Anyway, the next four years could provide obvious motivations to change this.
