The concept of foreign languages in code confuses and frightens me

[–] Yaky@slrpnk.net 13 points 6 days ago

Why? Programming language isn't a natural language. In fact, I think not knowing English makes it easier, since you cannot attach any preconceived notions, assumptions, or word order to keywords. I learned some Pascal, Visual Basic and whatever GameMaker used at the time without being fluent in English.
