    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()

    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).

      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

    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, not not fully making sense), so that’s fine.

              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!

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

        It’s Microsoft. For some insane reason, excel formulas are localized. E.g. German Excel uses “SUMME()” instead of “SUM()”.

        It’s insanely annoying because it sport of makes it more difficult to ask for help (I.e. only Germans might know what SVERWEIS does). And if you manage to find a solution in English, you need to translate it.

          Thank you for the explanation, I was aware of that.

          My joke was merely on the level of:

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

      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.

    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.

      I always thought T&& made sense as a movable reference. In order to move something, you need to change where the reference points, so conceptually you need a reference to the original reference to update it. (Effectively a double reference)
