I've worked a lot with Sony and Nintendo code/libraries, for instance,
it almost
always looks like this:
{
// E: I like cake.
// J: ケーキが好きです。
player.eatCake();
}
Clearly someone doesn't speak English in these massive codebases that
power an
industry worth 10s of billions.
Sure, but the code itself is written using ASCII!
Because they had no choice.
Not true, D supports Unicode identifiers.
I doubt Sony and Nintendo use D extensively.
