Hmmm... if you are going to use only Bavarian paraphernalia to symbolize "German Rust", you might as well go all the way and use Bavarian instead of German for some extra laughs? Ok, TBF most programming keywords are rather scientific, and dialects are less used in academia, so that might be tricky.
Also, I would bet that most Germans would also use "fn" as a two-letter shorthand for "Funktion". But it just had to be different, so they chose "fk" for "FunKtion"...
- stefanka 2y agoI saw "fkt" as a more common abbreviation for "Funktion", that'd be only one extra character
- tasuki 2y agoIf we allow for one more character, we can get the even clearer "fukt".
