Especially in Mandarin & Japanese speaking countries – for example: how does variable & function naming work if the language primarily consists of symbolic characters?
In: Technology
Mandarin and Japanese speaking people who can code, also read and understand the Latin alphabet. Much coding is mathematical too, and mathematics symbols and expressions are universally understaood worldwide, even among non-coders. Most languages have a small vocabulary of reserved words for flow control that are easy to learn. The rest is just syntax, which is analogous to punctuation.
Even in countries using the Latin alphabet or Cyrillic alphabet, they still use their own language for variable names, function names, class names, comments, etc.
