The first chapter of modern software Engineering--The 7th question--Zhang Xing

In many aspects, I think that "Chinese programming" is not a "silver bullet", and does not improve the programming efficiency of Chinese programmers.

First of all, Chinese programming refers to the use of Chinese writing keywords, such as class name, function name, variable name, constant name and so on. For programming languages, the syntax keyword is actually a symbol, and the daily language is not very related. Different programming languages corresponding keywords are not the same, so the Chinese language programming corresponding to the advantages of the mother tongue is not significant, remember that several foreign language keywords do not reduce development efficiency.

In addition, the Chinese programming has no advantage in the input, such as a = 1 and a equals one, and the Chinese has coding problems, harsh operating environment, the use of Chinese programming to have a series of support, such as the Windows Chinese API, compiler, compilation environment and so on. And the Chinese program only applies to Chinese programmers, not conducive to development.

Of course, Chinese as our mother tongue, regardless of other factors, for Chinese programmers, it is really easier to understand, but from a variety of considerations, Chinese programming is not a "silver bullet."
