Former BB guestblogger Johannes Grenzfurthner of Austrian art collective Monochrom says:
"Leo Findeisen, a member of Monochrom, wrote an interesting text and we published it on our server. He compares the 'old codes' of natural languages to the 'new codes' of today, which are programming languages. To help us understand the mechanisms through which new codes originate, grow and thrive (or do not), he examines the history of two natural languages that developed through an open source mechanism: Volapük and Esperanto."
Called "Some Code to Die For," the dense-but-engaging essay is available in English, German, and, of course, Esperanto.
