Mandarin is the 2nd most spoken language in the world, only behind english. Its also the 2nd most important language for programming, and has the largest open-source community in the world, so that’ll be a plus for my work.
I’m also learning spanish, and am much further along there than I am in Chinese. I feel like with those 3 languages I’ll never be too far from someone who can understand me.

Upvote I say this here because it’s frankly not enough for me to just upvote this comment.

Genuine question, in what way is Mandarin important in programming? Mentioned that to my friend and he said no way. I’m not a computer person so he didn’t bother explaining.
