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()
Finally, a language where CamelCase feels natural

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.
Seriously, fuck Excel for this. I always hate to look up function names in German.
Yes, I also hate it!
The Italian version of Excel had the brilliant idea of translating the
MID()function intoSTRINGA.ESTRAI(), which means “extract string”.Seriously, what the fuck.
The localisation of office software functions is atrocious in all languages. They should have defaulted to Volapuk, so that at least we could all suffer together.
It should have been Latin so at least you could feel like a magician or something
I thought of Latin, but then some people actually speak it, so they’d have an unfair advantage.
I would happily pull out my old dictionary and grammar books, for sure!
integer
Was soll der Quatsch denn heißen? Wer ist hier integer? Bei uns heißt das Ganzzahl, verdammt!!1!
*wütende Programmierergeräusche*
So wie Menschen, können auch Zahlen integer sein.
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’d love to swap else with alors in all languages
I think that’s actually a
thenkeywordY’know, from back when it was common for languages to do

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).
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 lolYeah its kinda based lol
