HN comment order>You're from Quebec and don't feel at ease using only French words? Don't worry! French Rust is fully compatible with English-Rust, so you can mix both at your convenience. Interesting factoid: in France, most of the stop signs say "stop" due to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals linked below. In Québec, on the other hand, most of the stop signs say "Arrêt" due to nationalism reasons. Bilingual Arrêt/Stop signs exist, but are rare.
As a native french speaker, I feel so uneasy reading source code in french. It feels very very uncanny. I've often wondered if English native speakers feel the same when reading normal source code which is always in English. They probably don't. But how? I've always associated the "other language-ness" to correctness and technicality. It must be so weird to code in your own language. Feels like reading bad pseudo code. It's very nice to be able to map "english"…
