Is she distributing it with git? If not I'd suspect whatever tool she's using is stripping chars. Either that or she's just copy pasting out of some material in an eLearning system.

@SortOfTested Nobody who is capable of using Git would use non-English comments like a fucking noob.

@SortOfTested Sometimes, I'm even struggling to express such tech stuff in German because I'm so used to English.

Commenting source code in German would feel about as awkward as going to office when wearing the underpants over the trousers.

@SortOfTested except the comment is in Swedish, not German.

But as a Swede, I agree, I never use Swedish in comments.

In a PR sure, thats a temporary thing to a known person, but a comment you never know who will have to read.

@Voxera german is worse since encoding is usually guessed and this fails with german, since some symbols are differently encoded in latin1 and unicode in the extended area.

Oh Boi, that hurts.
The worst I had to put up with in A&DS was "Throwing is always better than reporting".
Like, the prof never heard of Go or Rust........or C.

Ah, the typical Swedish programming instructor. She also uses åäö in variable names?

@metamourge Actually, you can have exceptions in C (sort of) - but setjmp/longjmp are not usually taught in programming courses because they're goto on steroids.

Well, to be fair, I believe Swedish universities by law are required to use swedish terminology. Though, it’s not always abided.

My teacher would write method names with äöü and shit.
Always took him a second to realize why the program didn't compile.
