> quite a few people disagree. I suggest it would take some time to retrain your eye. Or, the author is asserting that their approach is better without any real evidence other than their own line of reasoning. There's a great deal of arrogance in this post, like the assumption that red and green have universal connotations (just look at the chart emoji to see a counterexample). Do Japanese programmers have inherently better code because the existing red/green semantics in Japan match up with the author's argument? Probably not. It's an interesting couple of ideas but without meaningful data I wouldn't consider making these changes.
