To be honest, the only real difference would be the keyboard. Russian keyboards have double the amount of letters to accommodate for both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. Which is different from many EU countries, which only add some local characters like **Ä** or something. Plus, given that modern-day Russian uses a 33-letter alphabet, some letters need to occupy “non-standart” keyboard keys. Which means keys like square brackets (that go to the right after O, P); semicolons (right to K, L), dot & comma (right to N, M) are all taken. Even “~” key is taken by a letter “Ё”.
But the most fucked-up part is the letter “С/с”. It looks exactly like Latin “C/c” and it shares THE SAME keyboard key. Meaning that if you press “C”, you will never know which layout that was, Latin or Cyrillic. It is a letter-spy.
The fun part begins when computer starts working with your input. From the PC standpoint, С and C are totally different characters. You can use it to prank your local programmer – they are going to be very confused when
`var sumCoeff;`
`sumCoeff = 0;`
Suddenly starts giving them “Variable sumCoeff not found”.
