I'm digging how Japanese is just context based. The same sentence that says "He's cool" is the same as "She's cool" and "It's cool." What changes its meaning is the context you're using it in.

Because what could possibly go wrong by inferring everything based on context?

Italian has all sorts of conjugations to not leave it to context, we can rule that theory out

Turkish has only one third person pronoun that encompasses he/she/it. Gender is similarly indicated with contextual clues.

But they have gendered first person pronouns. Like Watashi is neutral, but Atashi/ Atakushi/ Atai /Uchi is only used by women. Ore/ Jibun/ Boku/ Washi is mostly used by men

And for secondary personal pronouns Temē/ Kisama are only used for men, but those are very rude.
