### My background

I'm a native French speaker and a software engineer, I studied in French and grew up speaking French.

**My Question is: which language should I use for my technical blog posts?**

**_On one hand_** , French could be easier for me to write in. It can allow me to make a difference by transferring knowledge from English to the French speaker for my country.

Cons: much less audience and I always think that the beauty of computer science or technology can only be viewed in English.

**_On the other hand English:_**

It's a bit harder for me to write a blog in (I have written 2 blogs in 6 months) and I'm afraid that not mastering the language could hold me back many times.  
But with English, I could target much larger audience and improve my writing skills.

What language should I write my programming blog post in?
