Found this in our code

... must not know how to spell else

Edit: @danglingPtr is 100% correct on that and I feel stupid!

I think it's written that way because the catch block sets the variable to false

Do people really use Dutch comments in their sourcecode?

@danglingPtr But wouldn't it look nicer if you defined another function for the false condition that gets called from the catch block and from an else?

@pollux-chris or not use a catch-all

@Charon92 I dunno. I mean, I'm Dutch, but I find Dutch comments disruptive of some sort.

@Charon92 I comment in English, as does the rest of the (all-Dutch) team.

@Charon92 I am German and also comment only in English. I used to comment in German but it always itches me, when the code is a mix of different languages.

Heeeeee nederlandse comments!

@Charon92 I'm Italian and I always comment in English.

@Charon92 the few comments are randomly in dutch and english

@Charon92 I comment in English because my brain is more rational and technical while in English mode. You develop certain personas when you learn a new language and English is my tech guy

@AndSoWeCode I'm not sure we have ever interacted :(
However, to be honest, I love @Lasagna more than myself. Don't let me think about that!

That bastard! Who puts not-function curly braces on newlines?!?

@Charon92, i have worked with a code written in portuguese that called a part of the program written in English that called a part of the program written in French 😂😂

@AndSoWeCode now, we want to know what the other 2 are XD

Buuttt iiisss mooreeee reeeaaaddaabblleeee

Unlike that las line.

As a Dutch(ish) developer: English comments, English var names, English docs, English everything.

Before you know it, your company is 100+ employees, and you're recruiting people globally.

Every developer knows English, it's the only thing we all have in common.

@Charon92 I'm danish and comment in English. My phone is in English. My computer is in English. In fact, when coding, I sometimes get confused when people talk to me in danish because I think in English when coding.

When I use another persons phone or computer and it is in danish (my native language), I can't find anything i need

@Charon92 I and everyone I know comments in english even though we are german, but we have a steady fight against our programming chair in university which provides code with german comments which are not UTF 8 encoded (ä ö ü etc)

@Tobyvw in my company most client projects' variables and functions are in French... Except for Airbus, they don't consider the source code valid if it's not in English

Umm... the code editor’s fonts and color scheme look fantastic btw 😍

@Electrux thanks, its standard dark theme of visual studio 2017
