Finally, a language where CamelCase feels natural

Wofür steht 'wd'??? Wochendag oder wie??? GEFEUERT werden muss die Person!

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

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.

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

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/---/

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).

I want a programming language that supports German style composite words

Java

I am german and I feel physical pain reading this code

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

integer

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

*wütende Programmierergeräusche*

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 `

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).

silently goes to German GitHub to learn German words

I want a programming language that supports German composite words.

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

I know this is a joke but it's still wild to me that programming languages aren't localised.

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.

I'll just leave this here, "An Introduction to German for ABAP/4 Programmer" (SAP):

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.

It's called java.

Oh? You want composit(ion)? Over inheritance maybe?

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.

Why is main capitalized but not printf???

If they are trying to follow German rules where nouns are capitalized, I guess this explains why their version of int would be capitalized, but that’s super annoying. Maybe C# is based on this.

Ouch.

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