Improve this questionI have always wondered how programming languages are different, if they are indeed different, to other parts of the world? How do people in parts of Asia/Europe/South America use programming? Whats the syntax like? Any examples?
There are indeed a small number of non-English programming languages. They do not enjoy widespread use. In programming in particular, and slightly less with technology in general, English seems to be the language of choice. I think this is likely due to the Internet originating in the US.
Here in Sweden (Northern Europe) I guess it's pretty much the same as in the USA. Java, python, ruby, C#, C++, perl are all quite popular. Functional languages as Lisp and Erlang (actually a language invented here in Sweden, and quite good for distributed stuff) are less common, but not all that uncommon.
Basically we all have to learn English :)
I used to make comments and variable/method names in spanish, then a teacher told me to write in english, despite my native language, if i wanted my code to be any worth, it had to be in english, for its the one language the whole programming community (or a really big majority) knows
The good thing of programming languages is that they are almost universal (excluding some unicode support related things :D ).
I think that everywhere they're just the same, same syntax and same behaviour.. IT is based on standards, programming languages are not excluded!
I m pretty sure that you can find people who write C/C++ , java , C# code everywhere since almost all universities teach those language , the only difference is the naming of variables and functions (or methods) usualy they are named based on the native language of the developer
The only thing that differs is what people name their variables, and what locale settings they use.
