I had another question, somewhat unrelated - how do you do naming if you're programming? In German you can just build a long word without spaces in between, so do you still do camel/snake casing to split them up?
- soonnow 6y agoAt some point in the past, a few programming languages would try to be localized. I faintly remember Visual Basic using German names for the functions? Also I think SAP/ABAP was German at first. So when you write WENN X>LAENGE(Y) DANN you'd be using German variables, because it fits the programming language. Today I would expect all variables be english and comments be German at best. If I'd see code with German variables I'd just assume it was a beginner.
- Barrin92 6y agoI've actually worked at more foreign firms than German one's so I may not be the ideal person to answer but when I worked on code that uses German naming people would usually use cases or underscores/hyphens like they do in English. It's just not very readable to use longer German compound words. That said I think German names are relatively rare outside of old code. Most people just adopt straight up English terms.
