I haven't gotten to that second part either.

Only TIL "i18n" tho'.

It blows my mind that the most common ones a11y and i18n are like…. the polar opposite of the topic they represent. Anyone doing accessibility or internationalization should be trying to forbid anyone from saying “a11y” or “i18n”

First glance I read it (roughly) as …

"A guy who knows i18n well, trembling, asks 'What is this "l10n" you speak of?' "

…

[Yes, in my experience over decades, I've seen a lot of mandated i18n that does not ever make it to l10n (beyond the base default US English). This often made me question the wisdom of it. But "the powers that be" do not accept questioning litely.]

"You can prove a language is complete two ways. Functional languages, like Haskell, prove equivalence to the lambda calculus; imperative languages prove equivalence to a Turing machine. This is due to the separation of Church and state."
