Especially east asian languages. Any line containing an identifier that is also a word would be highlighted. More and more programming languages are supporting unicode identifiers for this use case.So it won't work for 0.0001% of all github projects.I'd suggest to have the occasional look at the "most popular repos" ranking. It's about 50% Chinese. Super-interesting sometimes as it shows completely different tech trends.I know right. It's wild that an American company primarily doing business in the West would have a bias towards English.Yeah, just don't. Allowing to code in anything other than English is a disservice, plain and simple. Inb4, I'm not being US-centric, Latin ain't even my native alphabet.1 more...
