  • This is because of western sanctions. Chinese contributors are much more numerous and more important than any Russians ever were; and they’re also not a sanctioned country, so I highly doubt it

    EDIT: As an Iranian, however, there is not much time left before us Iranians in the FOSS world are going to be banned from everywhere, although some measure against us has already been taken (Microsoft banned the shit out of Iranians when they took over GitHub)

    For example, one of the most widely used libraries in the world is written by an Iranian who works (worked?) at Google by the name of Behdad Espahbod (HarfBuzz glyph processor library)




  • I’m an Iranian Persian (hence a native speaker of the language) and let me warn you – people usually don’t know this but it’s a very difficult language, and quite foreign coming from a western language.

    I don’t know of any sources like what you want, but even our government’s dogshit national media should be alright from a purely language learning perspective. Although, I don’t know what good jumping into spoken Persian with all it’s subtleties straight from the beginning will do you.

    If you need any help with the language feel free to message me on this account.
