Please Come To Brazil They Said

When your therapist tries to reassure you about imaginary programming languages, but then Brazilian C shows up with incluir <espadrao.h> , vazio principal() , and escrevef("Olá Mundo!"); . It's like regular C had a wild weekend in Rio and came back speaking Portuguese. The function names are literally just translated versions of standard C - "incluir" instead of "include", "vazio" instead of "void", "principal" instead of "main". The real horror isn't that Brazilian C exists—it's that part of you immediately understood it. Seven years of debugging regular C and now you're fluent in its international variants too. Great.

The Norwegian Language Is Lit

Turns out Norwegian accidentally became the official language of computer science education. When you translate "datafag" (data subject), you get "computer science." But wait for the plot twist - "slutt datafag" (end data subject) translates to "graduate computer science." So basically, in Norwegian, you don't finish your CS degree, you "slutt" it. No wonder programmers are always talking about their "end conditions" with such enthusiasm.
