Programming style could mean different things: architecture, design patterns, spelling, naming, favorite languages, favorite domains, coding styles (tab vs spaces, where to put braces, space or no space before functions). What probably matters a lot is how programming was learned (self taught, at school, availability of resources from the country / in the language of the person…) as well as the variety of code which the person read / contributed to. No, that does not answer the question at all because I have no idea :-) With respect to naming, English being a Germanic language rooting a good part of its vocabulary to the French language, it would be interesting to compare German code and French code both written in English and find out whether German (resp. French) people tend to use more words rooted from the German (resp. French) language.
