I prefer names like these to names that are common words. Even the name of the language is annoying because the letter C isn't exactly uncommon in other contexts. I can't blame the people who named the language because they did it long before search engines were a thing, but what excuse do people now have?

So you're saying we should create a programming language called "Welsh" with C-like function names?

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

No because that would imply that Welsh is not just as valid a language as English and I don't want to be wedi'i gywiro'n gwrtais.
