I’m curious, why is it awkward to write with a regular Russian keyboard layout? Presumably due to punctuation and not due to the Cyrillic characters?
replyI had to deal with 1C once for a client who insisted on reconciling his (mid-9 figure) assets into it. The good part of it is that a competent 1C programmer (of which he had 2) can basically make it do anything, exactly like SAP, but the out of the box experience is terrible.
replyThere's also Kumir, which is an educational programming language used in Russian schools
replyHm. That must be new, I was taught Turbo Pascal
replySomewhat new, or at least wasn't used in schools until fairly recently. It's a programming environment with tools like Turtle Graphics built in, specifically for teaching the basics of coding. There are even some tasks in ЕГЭ for it.
replyThe website screenshot shows it on Windows XP though, don't know if it actually existed back then or if it's just typical Russian institutions still using Windows XP.
In fact, the language itself dates to rhe 1980s I think. No idea whether its use in schools is recent though.
