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

@Fast-Nop
You don't write technical German comments? I am such disappoint π -
@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
Fast is german -
@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.

@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.

@SortOfTested in the image, last method, that comment is in Swedish :)

It changed my life, really. π
In my uni course "Algorithms and Data structures" we use Java. Fine. Definitely not my preferred language but it's not like I have a choice.
Anyway, our teacher uploads code files for us to use as reference/examples. The problem is, they look like this. Not only does she not indent the code, she also uses a charset that is not utf-8.
In the rare cases where she does indent the code, she uses THREE, yes THREE spaces...
