That's why "real programmers" use English keyboard layout regardless of the physical keyboard ;)

Curly brace syntax would never have been invented in Europe (case in point: Python and Pascal).



Oh for sure. I am using qwerty myself. And my fav language (f#) has relatively few curly braces.


F# is wonderful. I wish someone would make an F# that compiled as fast as OCaml or Go and which had Go’s standard library and simple tooling.


.NET ecosystem is only matched by Java, and Native AOT exists, even if there are some issues with printf, due to its current implementation.


Real programmers deliver business value, regardless of what keyboard they have at their disposal.

Just like great musicians make the difference in the band, regardless of the instruments scattered around the studio.


JSON is everywhere nowadays - How can one complain about curly braces {} ? EU programmers would have already mapped {} after their first REST API.
