    I prefer to code by yelling at Chat GPT, copy-pasting to Grok, telling Grok Chat GPT said it couldn’t write cleaner code, then going back and forth between the 2 with fake insults from the other until one declares a Jihad on the other. I think it’s called “vibe coding”.

        Silly librul, everyone knows forests are a lie sold to us by big-pharma so they can sell us more vaccines. That’s why I take my Ivermectin enemas daily, and you should too! It helps you see through the Jewish Space Lasers!

        Just think about it - the more deforested areas, the more room for data centres and power plants! It’s literally a win-win!

    you need to compile c with a c++ compiler to be able to define macros for keywords iirc. But I did do this once to translate c to my native language, Maltese. It was cursed

      Well, in PHP you cannot #define new words from some new language to mean basic language keywords.

    I’m all in favor of zuruck replacing return, because that just sounds cooler. Plus z doesn’t get enough use in my programs these days.

      I often use z as a temp variable when i need something to compare to when creating new code but don’t want a separate window to the side or to experiment with something but don’t yet know what the result can or will be. I use z purely just because i know z is very very unlikely to have been used elsewhere, and if for some reason it has, then i just name it ‘zz’.

      This is actually temporary by the way. It does not stay in my code. Once I’m done with it, i delete it.

    I worked with one of the authors of the Brazilian SQL. It was exactly what it looks, every reserved word translated to Brazilian Portuguese.

      Oh shit, I’d never get anything done, as I’d imagine my lovely friend’s accent reading this shit out. Selecione * de tbl_minha-tabela onde nome não é nulo Hahaha! I love it!

        That reminds me, I had to modify a program written in VB once. The guy who created it wrote every table, every column, every view in Portuguese, WITH ACCENTS! It works, we simply have to put everything between brackets, but it doesn’t add anything to clarity. It looks awful and seems pedantic.

      Oh god. I still have nightmares about that time I had excel formulas in Portuguese, I refuse to think about SQL.

        Don’t forget the keyboard shortcuts. Office products would change shortcuts according to the language, so it would be more mnemonic. Ctrl-F for find and Ctrl-B for bold would be reassigned to whatever initials that language had. Fun! /s

          Man I’m glad Dutch keyboards are just US international. So all the shortcuts are just the same as the English version. So I never had to unlearn localized shortcuts.

          Not even the right initials. Most of the actions’ names had the same few initials so they had to find synonyms to use the shortcut for. Search was Ctrl+L (from Locate). In other cases they just used whatever letter was next on the keyboard to the initial that was already in use.

      Foreign? For some these languages are native. Foreign is relative.

      (I’m just being pedantic, i understand that relatively to you - and me - this is foreign)

      Why? Programming language isn’t a natural language. In fact, I think not knowing English makes it easier, since you cannot attach any preconceived notions, assumptions, or word order to keywords. I learned some Pascal, Visual Basic and whatever GameMaker used at the time without being fluent in English.
