In this part of the world the name would be quite political. We only use the letter Č (pronounced as ch) but our neighbors also use Ć (pronounced the same, only softer.. it's literally called "the soft Č"). There are a lot of 1st/2nd/3rd generation immigrants from those countries and their last names almost always end with Ć. So "he/she has a Ć" became a rude way of saying "he/she is an immigrant". And spelling someone's name with a Ć when it's actually Č can result in a very heated argument. I have no doubt you could find developers who would refuse to work with Ć :)
- badloginagain 5y agoHonestly as good as most of the excuses I've seen for "Reasons I won't work with _____ langauge"
- singularity2001 5y agoDoes that result in the cito => cheato compiler for ć?
- drno123 5y agoI guess you are from Slovenia :)
- sime2009 5y agoWhich part of the world is "this" part of the world you are talking about?
- mimac 5y agoProbably Slovenia.
- 6ue7nNMEEbHcM 5y agoAny hints of where that part of the world is to avoid it? I suppose Czech Republic?
- shp0ngle 5y agoNo, something on Balkans
- pndy 5y agoČ is present in Czech, Slovak and South Slavic languages of Balkans, as well in Lithuanian, Latvian. It was created by Jan Hus who worked on Czech orthography in 15th century. The written representation of this sound might vary - Polish Czeski and Czech Česky but the sound mostly remains same.

- smcl 5y agoIt seems we are talking about Slovenia. It’d be a shame to skip a country for something small like this, particularly one as nice as Slovenia
- DonHopkins 5y agoIt's not a matter of a programming language skipping a nice country, but of some stupid bigots in a nice country self-owning by skipping a programming language, of their own free will. Discouraging bigots from joining a programming language community is a good thing for that community.
- smcl 5y agoYou’ve misunderstood my comment and the one I’m replying to. This person is talking about chalking off an entire country because of a comment they read on HN, without giving it much more thought. Not really my business but IMO they’d be missing out and to be honest you could use this line of reasoning to eliminate basically every popular destination
- DonHopkins 5y agoAnti-immigrant bigotry is "something small" in your opinion?
- gswdh 5y agoThen those developers are stupid, it’s just a character.
