"The advantage of paradigms like procedural or functional programming as well as trait based "OO", is that there is generally an obvious way to structure something." And surely that would be the way that you consider cor

It is very typical for Russians that we often feel awkward using old words in a new meaning to denote new concepts. Somehow it feels silly and imprecise, and we prefer to borrow the word from the language where a concept originated. At the

"Seeing a programming language in your native language after working with English ones" That's probably the reason. I'd bet after working for the same time with 1C, you (or I, for that matter) would completely ignore ke
