Rust is the absolute worst offender with names though, LINQ is pretty bad too but they at least imitated SQL. Rust borrows a ton of concepts from ML and Haskell and almost none of them by the original name, for no fucking reason. Unfortunately I also learned about these concepts with Rust so I have to constantly translate when I try to talk about the concepts on general.
missing rust's infinite loops in other languages now
also now I don't like variable++ and it throws me off
also missing iterators. because you can consume part of them and don't have to keep track that some of a list has already been "used up" so to speak. now I have index counters and laaame (granted not having to wrestle with borrowing rules... actually just strangely feels weird)
also why must languages have different naming conventions. this is a disaster now because my reflexes for what I name variables is all over the place. now I find snake_case more readable than camelCase because the letters are the same height so you can skim for names easier, and by how many words which correlates to how specific a variable is to the logical loops at hand
I guess end of the day we just develop a handwriting style in code our brains like and the idea of having to change your accent every time you switch a locale sounds annoying
