java software naming question

Back in the 60s I studied organic chemistry. Our lab instructor was
German and told us that most of the interesting work in organic
chemistry was published in German.

Hard to believe nowadays. I rather do hope that those articles have been
translated properly (not some automatic Google-translation) to English
by now.
We would simply have to learn
enough German to make sense of it. To my surprise, it was not that
difficult. I gather the same is true for English and computer
programming.

That reminds me of the episode of Feynman's "Surely You're Joking, Mr.
Feynman!" book, where he tries to learn Portugese and is able to talk to
a dentist (?) without much problems because all the domain-specific
vocabulary is basically the same in almost all Latin-based languages.
However, he couldn't understand a single word of what people talked
about in the streets.

Viele Grüße,
Stuart
