A compiled programming language with Korean keywuords, written in Rust - xodn348/han

I remember our professor at university (Gothenburg, Sweden) was teaching us object oriented programming and her example code had variable names and method names in Swedish because Java could deal with utf8 already beck then in 2008.

We were trying to convince one of the Arabic students to send in his stuff in Arabic, but he was too afraid.

I'm also a Swedish programming teacher, but I always tell my students to use English variable names. Irrational perhaps, but it just feels safer to avoid åäö. Even more so in file names, where it can make an actual difference if you move the file between different platforms. It's just safer to not form that habit to begin with.
