Do Russians code in Russian or English?
Russian programmers code not in Russian or English, but in programming languages. C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, Erlang, Haskell, Lisp, Ershol, M, 1S, whatever.
What programming language does Russia use?
Twenty the most popular programming languages in Russia in 2016:

Do Russians have their own programming language?
ЯМБ (язык машин бухгалтерских) (machine language for accounting machines) – A Russian programming language for Iskra-554, Iskra-555, and Neva-501 specialized accounting computers. Similar to Pascal and IDE, mainly intended for educational usage in schools.
What do Russians struggle with in English?
Many Russian speakers have difficulty pronouncing the English consonant sounds /w/, /v/, /r/ & ‘th’. Russian has a quarter of the vowels that English does so many English vowels are challenging. Word stress is often flatter and more even than an English native speaker.
How does Russian grammar differ from English grammar?
The Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet and the English language uses Latin. Russian pronunciation generally follows pretty clear rules, while English, of course, does not. Russian actually has fewer tenses than English. Word order doesn’t matter as much grammatically in Russian as it does in English.
Do non English speakers have codes in English?
While non-native English speakers are clearly more than willing to code in English and often become some of the most influential programmers in the field, it’s worth raising the question of how I and other native English-speaking programmers can take our language privilege into consideration.
Why are there so many Russian programmers?
The main reason for the development of applied mathematics and programming in the country was the USSR’s desire to surpass the U.S. and its allies in the nuclear arms race, according to Mikhail Gustokashin, director of the Center of Student Competitions at the Higher School of Economics.
Do other countries write code in English?
Largely, yes. English is the lingua franca of the software world. I co-wrote (in English) a technical book on Python programming which has been translated into Russian, Polish, and Chinese. In each case while the text of the book has been translated, the code we wrote is reproduced verbatim.
How do Russians say Z?
Russians don’t have sounds that should be pronounced with the tongue between the teeth, so they just turn them into something vaguely similar. And for Russians it’s the letter ‘З’ (the Russian letter ‘z’, not the number ‘three’) which is ‘Z’ in English.
What are the most popular programming languages in Russia?
First of all, it’s little difficult to cover all the programming languages used by Russians (or used in Russia). But we can find what are the most popular programming languages in Russia and then drill down geographically. Javascript, Java, Python, PHP and C++ are the most popular languages according to Google Trends.
What are the Russian lowercase Entity codes for small letters?
Russian Lowercase Entity Codes Character Name Character Entity Hex Entity CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A а а а CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BE б б б CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE в в в CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE г г г
What are some examples of non-English programming languages?
Several non-English programming languages even date back to the era of government-sponsored room-sized megacomputers, such as several Soviet-era programming languages that were based on Russian and the multilingual languages ALGOL 68 (1960s) and 4th Dimension (1980s).
Is the technology of coding bound to English?
The technology of coding is no more intrinsically bound to English than the technology of writing was bound to Latin. I propose we start by adjusting the way we talk about programming languages when they contain words from human languages. The first website wasn’t written in HTML—it was written in English HTML.
