Eh, those are kinda opaque sequences anyway, since the
meanings aren't quite what the normal dictionary definition is
anyway. Look up "int" in the dictionary... or "void", or even
"string". They are just a handful of magic sequences we learn
with the programming language. (And in languages like Rust,
"fn", lol.)
Well, even on top of that, the standard library is full of
English words that read very coherently when used together (if
you understand English).
I can't imagine a long chain of English algorithms with some
Chinese one pasted in the middle looks very good :) I suppose
you could alias them all...

You might get really funny error messages.
🙂 can't be casted to int.

And if you have to increment the number of cars you can write:
🚗++; This might give really funny looking programs!
