> But basic English knowledge is assumed Let's be clear: it is my opinion that today, basic english is a pre-requisite to any programmer. What I am saying is that people making "native" programming language seem to want to change that and that they are misguided if they think the language is the crucial part. The crucial part are the error messages, which indeed are often very poorly translated. Yes, heap/stack would look weird in french as well, but as weird as they look in english the first time you encounter them. However if you translate the error message correctly, a novice programmer will understand that it is a memory problem and may try to hunt the error more efficiently.
