A call to downgrade English in Chinese schools is fueling discussion over its value for students, careers and China's global competitiveness in the age of AI.
Having worked at a company where all the code was written by Japanese for Japanese-speakers, it’s just nouns in romaji for variables, something verb-y for functions. Some function names had particles as a part of that (still in romaji). No counters that I recall in code (though used in comments).
Yes yes. You don’t need to remind us all that Japanese is stupidly complicated. Everyone who’s watched a bit of anime knows that 🤣
Sooo… Let’s say you want to actually use Japanese in your code. Which of the three writing systems would you choose?
Also, do you start counters at zero or do you…
Noun + Particle + Number + Counter?
I mean, it must be a real pain to first have to figure out what it is you’re counting before you can actually start the index 🤔
Also, make sure your fonts follow the shinto stroke ordering! Otherwise your schoolteacher will haunt you from their grave and curse your program!

So serious! I was just being silly.
I bow my head in apology, for making you consider my statements with such intense defensive posturing!
