Writing here two stories that I have read long ago but still remember,

1. A story about a boy who had pro-level knowledge about airplanes(or fighter jets). He said he was a pilot in his previous life. He was born somewhere in the USA.

2. A very little boy(may be just 5 or 6 years old) who had the ability to draw stunning paintings. He was born in Kerala, India.

So what we should understand is knowledge is passed from one life to another in the form of Vasanas.

"Vasana" is a Sanskrit term in Indian philosophy referring to a subconscious karmic imprint, subtle desire, or habitual tendency that influences one's character and behavior. These "impressions" can be positive or negative and are stored in the mind as latent desires or patterns of thought (said by Google's AI).

And the term Vasana is not from any Indian "philosophies". Its a technical term used in Indian sciences which you can commonly find in Vedanta, Patanjalayoga, Upanishads and so on.

I actually didn't have to make any of these comments here as I already have finished with this subject(programming) and moved on. But somehow, when I see a post like this, I did.

Best of luck with your projects. May god bless you all.

There are Russian and Chinese programming languages. Quite natural. But there are already Hindi programming languages as well. Mind blowing detail! Thank you for sharing this list.

Currently computer programming is done using one's knowledge in mathematical language(or mathematical way of thinking) + knowledge in English. It would be nice to see how replacing the English part with mothertounge work. For me, atleast I can read the documentation with confidence and much ease(I'm not French btw). And may it become an experiment to see how it works for non-English languages. Thanks for the French to starting this. I was once wrote in my blog about programming in my own mothertounge which is Malayalam.
