I've seen code all documented in Japanese with Japanese strings. I thought it looked awesome and wondered why people don't just write code in their own language - why nobody has bothered to create, say, Japanese JavaScript.
Most programming languages themselves have a relatively finite number of keywords (if, break, continue, etc). It's the entire ecosystem (npm, PyPi, nuget, etc) and all the English libraries where it gets confusing for non-native speakers.
You would almost need something along the lines of a "source translation map" + a transpiler + IDE which supported these translated keyword equivalents as part of natural autocompletion to make something like this work.
EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if there's an extension for VS Code / Jetbrains that translates JSDocs side-by-side into the user's language.
It's easier to read for English speakers as well.
When working with databases, all properties / columns that I use are lowercase snake case.
Much faster to work with, you learn to type _ pretty quickly.
Also I like underscores side you can double click to copy
i.e try copying these in one mouse action: `some-thing-lol` or `some_thing_lol`

There are some non-English based programming languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_...

Sure, like extending i18n to the code itself, I like it. It would be a fun way to practice my Italian.
Seems like a good area for research. Until then, it's anecdata.
Im curious if tabs are easier for non native speakers than spaces
