Programming in Japanese

Or any other language.

Anyway, I'm just curious; if you're a native jap or something and only speak ______, do you need to learn english to program? what about html? on any foreign language site I've looked at, the source is always written in english...

Know enough to know the API and language constructs.  And the source is always in English because every language out there uses English for its keywords and API.  I guess if you really wanted, you can programming in your native language and then run a preprocessor to map everything back to English before compiling.

Programmers, with their superior intellect, have no trouble learning English.

I started to program in Basic, then C, before knowing enough English to read your post. Being Spanish, English vocabulary is pretty easy, but sometimes I recall calling functions whose name I didn't understand, but I knew what they did and that was all I needed to know. I never really sit on a desk to study English; it just came with use, high school classes (for which I never did any homework), and from being a very simple language, which makes it great as a lingua franca for programming and technology in general.

I never really sit on a desk to study English;
what.

MY ENGLISH NOT VERY GOOD

I LIKE COMPUTERS

DO YOU LIKE COMPUTERS?

Torvalds wrote in English when he first began to modify Minix, despite being a native Finn.

Lol, I was going to write something different, then edited it before posting, and messed up. But hey, I'm not the one "putting food on his family".

Scandinavians are always great at English because if they weren't, they couldn't talk to the other 6485 million people in the world.

Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia.

UNICODE sourcecode, great Sun invention or greatest Sun invention?

Probably the greatest, because it's not saying much.

I'm Dutch. Personally I feel that we should just do all programming in English. It's the de facto preferred language in Computer Science.

All keywords and jargon in general is in English anyway, so if you're going to write your documentation in Dutch it's going to be a garbled mixture of two languages no matter what. Also documenting your code in English enables international collaboration, whereas almost no one speaks Dutch in the world.

Programmers, with their superior intellect, have no trouble learning English.

I used to think this, before starting to work with actual programmers. Jesus Christ some of those people can barely read or write Dutch, let alone English.

I studied Computer Science at a University of Technology and for me it pretty much became second nature to write all papers and other documents in English (see above: international collaboration is everyday business there). But those Bachelor of Science types seem to have forgotten all of their high school English.

Also many professional programmers purposefully sabotage international collaboration because they fear offshoring. For example they'll refuse to write English documentation in spite of having been instructed to by their boss. It's sad, really.

I'm glad you felt it was necessary to bump the thread to say that.

If you've read jappo source code you'd figure it out. They use the english keywords in the language, write comments in SJIS and for variable names often something romanized and abbreviated. Weeaboo software like Shiichan and Wakaba also have some of this bullshit like “kotehan” and “renzoku”.

fuck off tiny chink dicks

Here, have some Chinese Python:

文件名 = 系统.参数[1:]

定义 修正行尾(文件):
    内文 = 打开(文件名).读入()
    内文 = 内文.替换('\n\r','\n')
    传回 内文

取 文件 自 文件名:
