    Why do you care about the place were it was developed? Languages know no borders. Regardless whether those are natural languages or programming languages.

        That’s nonsense. People are not responsible for the country they are born in. Just russia is a morally bankrupt dogshit fucking country doesn’t mean that every russian open source developer is that aswell aswell.

        Sure, but there’s a difference between Donaldland and some guys in their basement writing a spec. The people do not necessarily support the government.

        It makes more sense to keep the money from companies than free software developers.
