I'm not a native speaker either. But firstly, if you don't know english in computer science you can't follow any research, any documentation and worse you can't write code that is readable like a book. Basically you are stuck like Robinson Crusoe putting together yourself a roof and a bed from banana leaf, while the whole world is on an other civilisation level. I personally hate when people start using their language to code, it's just not how it evolved and how it should be done on a professional level. If you want to play music you need to learn reading the notes first. Call me a traditionalist.


Context matters. If its your in office code, use whatever language you want. But if it's going to be open source, english please.
