I want a programming language that supports German composite words.

My brother in Turing, that's just camel case.

But you could go further. I want to be able to define an Auto and a Bahn, then immediately be able to go

new AutoBahn()

Spring JPA Query methods are kind of like the composite words. You just declare a method with a name that describes the database query you want, and it generates the code and SQL for you.

POV: ESL programmers

[-] pleasejustdie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Make enough C macro definitions and you can certainly do that, I did my final project in my high school programming class in the 90's like that, made macros to simulate QBasic syntax and then just wrote it in basic, the end result is the macros converted everything into valid C++ and it compiled fine. Fortunately my teacher for that class was cool, and he was amused by it and since it compiled with no warnings and did what it was supposed to do, I got full marks for it.

In college, we had to use Hungarian pseudocode. I still have PTSD from it, especially as the teacher was a psycho that had a meltdown every time her "how do you do fellow kids" moment terribly backfired, most infamously by putting Twilight references into a test (everybody audibly cringed reading the tests).

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 7 points 2 days ago

Support your teachers trying to be fun, at least it shows they care enough to put in more effort.
Also I'm curious how she managed to slide in Twilight references of all things in a programming class lol

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah its kinda based lol

Aren't you müde from writing Rust programs in English? Do you like saying "scheiße" a lot? Would you like to try something different, in an exotic and funny-sounding language? Would you want to bring some German touch to your programs?

rost (German for Rust) is here to save your day, as it allows you to write Rust programs in German, using German keywords, German function names, German idioms.

Finally, a language where CamelCase feels natural

In German you would write "Kamelkiste", nicht "KamelKiste". This holds true for most Java class names. I begin to see huge potential for evil ...

French fucking Excel formulas is an abomination and needs to die.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 days ago

Microsoft should be charged with war crimes for deciding to localize both Formulas AND keyboard shortcuts across the Office Suite.

[-] protogen420 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

THIS SO MUCH THIS, LOCALIZED SHORTCUTS ARE PAINFUL, I CAN NOT FIND WAYS TO FULLY EXPRESS MY HATRED FOR THEM AS SOMEONE WHO HAD TO USE OFFICIE 365 IN PORTUGUESE also btw mnemonic shortcuts were a mistake

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'm am immigrant in Brazil and have to deal with Portuguese excel almost everyday. At least I know my Python and only use excel to do simple things.

Edit: all my scripts end with pd.to_excel() tho

I hear the French usually program in French as well. I do not want to ever work in France.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Nah, just that WinDev thing.
On the plus side we have actual holidays and good luck bothering me outside of hours, haha!

I mean we have that here in Estonia too :P

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Haha, fair enough! I'm glad you do!
If you believed the stereotypes, you'd think we're the only ones, sometimes :)

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I think that's mostly an American stereotype, I believe Estonia and France and several other European countries get roughly the same amount of paid holidays as well as paid time off. Though apparently you guys also have a 35 hour work week, which I'm jealous of!

[-] Miaou@jlai.lu 2 points 2 days ago

Not true, but don't let me change your mind!

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Norwegian as well. It's basically impossible to find the documentation. Translation has somehow changed the order of words, som direct translation of formulaes is not helpful for searches either.

integer

Was soll der Quatsch denn heißen? Wer ist hier integer? Bei uns heißt das Ganzzahl, verdammt!!1!

[-] PapstJL4U@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So wie Menschen, können auch Zahlen integer sein.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 65 points 3 days ago

Yeah, Excel does that, it always fascinated me. It was so weird writing =KDYŽ instead of =IF in Excel. Different times, I guess.

[-] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 3 days ago

At least the names are extremely self-documenting. Some of those German variable names are long enough they might even be self-aware!

[-] prinzmegahertz@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Except, i once encountered the variable HIVZwerg in an abandoned python script I had to maintain and it made me laugh with its absurdity.

A key reason English became the preeminent language of scientific and technical communication, and thus the source of keywords in programming languages, is because German (the other candidate) fell out of favour due to the two world wars. So, were it not for Prussian militarism, our programming languages may have instead been based on German (along with most scientific literature being in German).

Whoa, I was expecting just a light joke & was not prepared for this, lolwut.

I use VBA frequently, don't actually speak German, so I'll ofc try this. And none of my code was ever readable (weirdly lewd, but not fully making sense), so that's fine.

[-] bzah@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 3 days ago

I know there is a programming language called windev, all in French, just in case you want to suffer. I would except a good exception handling mechanism in a French base language.

An example from their website: ` TotalCA est un monétaire = CalculCAMoisEnCours()

SI TotalCA >= 1 250 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= "Objectif dépassé !" LIB_Objectif.Couleur= VertFoncé

SINON SI TotalCA <= 200 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= "Objectif non atteint" LIB_Objectif.Couleur= RougeClair FIN

FIN `

I am german and I feel physical pain reading this code

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 31 points 3 days ago

My experience with German programming languages is with Siemens PLC's, since the programming language changes together with the IDE when you set the language to German. Looking at Structured Text / Instruction List having U (und) instead of A (and) operator and bunch of other things was interesting.

But IIRC there were also higher programming languages that are in other languages? Wasn't there one for arabic? Was this it: https://github.com/nasser/---/

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.earth 13 points 3 days ago

There's also Alef, which I thought was the only Arabic programming language 'till now.

Edit: after searching around, there seems to be lots of Arabic scripting and programming languages, most are discontinued:

Functional programming languages kind of are that way. Just chain together enough map calls

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

i will never forgive them for making the pointer type be T* instead of &T. most confusing thing ever.

don’t even get me started on C++ making T& the reference type and then making T&& be something other than the double reference type.
