Eh, those are kinda opaque sequences anyway, since the meanings aren't
quite what the normal dictionary definition is anyway. Look up "int" in
the dictionary... or "void", or even "string". They are just a handful
of magic sequences we learn with the programming language. (And in
languages like Rust, "fn", lol.)
Well, even on top of that, the standard library is full of English words
that read very coherently when used together (if you understand English).
I can't imagine a long chain of English algorithms with some Chinese one
pasted in the middle looks very good :) I suppose you could alias them
all...
