Comment on Snake_Cases are easier than CamelCase for non-native speakers of English to readparent

Most programming languages themselves have a relatively finite number of keywords (if, break, continue, etc). It's the entire ecosystem (npm, PyPi, nuget, etc) and all the English libraries where it gets confusing for non-native speakers.

You would almost need something along the lines of a "source translation map" + a transpiler + IDE which supported these translated keyword equivalents as part of natural autocompletion to make something like this work.

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if there's an extension for VS Code / Jetbrains that translates JSDocs side-by-side into the user's language.

Sure, like extending i18n to the code itself, I like it. It would be a fun way to practice my Italian.
