Programming in the Language of Rome: A 2025 Perspective

"Write Software in Latin"

In a presentation delivered at the Electronic Cash Conference 2025 held in Barcelona, speaker Tobias Ruck explored a provocative concept: the utility of using Latin for software development.

The Core Thesis

The presentation focuses on 6 Reasons why one should adopt Latin in their codebase. While most developers use English or Python, Ruck argues for a classical approach.

Conceptual Framework

The value of this approach can be represented by the formula: $\text{Software Value} = \sum_{i=1}^{6} \text{Reason}_i$

}
