I may or may not be moving to Japan within a few years, and I'm a novice programmer. Is there any difference programming when you're in Japan? Do they utilize kanji? Do they use the same programming languages as everyone else?
How to adapt to Japanese programming style ------------------------------------------
1. Never use a high-level language. Use See or Sepples if necessary (Ruby is acceptable if your program can tolerate being slow as fuck).
2. Never, ever, use wchar_t. Always use char in conjunction with SJIS encoding.
3. Your variable names must always be at most four characters long.
4. Use C-style arrays and lookup tables as much as possible.
5. Never comment your code.
These points should help you get started. Even so, with Japan being racist as fuck, do not expect to get hired anywhere without sucking at least a dozen tiny dicks. Oh, and do not even look at females over there, they're just waiting to get you arrested for sexual assault.
