Does something like this exist in the programming world? Example: programmers trained in X tend to be more Y compared to those trained in Z.
another fun with languages happens when coders for whatever reason insist on naming their variables using fusion of english and other language, such as "HornyWidget" (horny means upper in my language)
not sure about specifics in training but I had quite a lot of fun reading regular c++ code with variables in english only to scroll and find pages of comments in foreign language like russian or japanese... another fun with languages happens when coders for whatever reason insist on naming their variables using fusion of english and other language, such as "HornyWidget" (horny means upper in my language)
But that was around 2002 or so. IDK if it is so today. Probably not.

MPlayer is originally a Hungarian project and IIRC the code suffered a bit from comments being written in Hungarian, which no one but Hungarians understand. But that was around 2002 or so. IDK if it is so today. Probably not.
Back then, I thought it was idiotic; how could a professional sit there and copy from others.
I now view it as genius - save your effort for the hard problems.
What probably matters a lot is how programming was learned (self taught, at school, availability of resources from the country / in the language of the person…) as well as the variety of code which the person read / contributed to.
No, that does not answer the question at all because I have no idea :-)
With respect to naming, English being a Germanic language rooting a good part of its vocabulary to the French language, it would be interesting to compare German code and French code both written in English and find out whether German (resp. French) people tend to use more words rooted from the German (resp. French) language.

Take a look around the repo; it'll look odd to a western programmer. There is a lot of duplication. And the tests don't have names, they are numbered.

This was several years ago. I did end up choosing it since it really was the fastest.
