In this blog post I take a look at how well GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket support reviewers in finding malicious code changes in pull requests.

This doesn’t work for code bases written in non-English languages. Especially east asian languages.

Any line containing an identifier that is also a word would be highlighted.

More and more programming languages are supporting unicode identifiers for this use case.

So it won’t work for 0.0001% of all github projects.

I know right.

It’s wild that an American company primarily doing business in the West would have a bias towards English.

I’d suggest to have the occasional look at the “most popular repos” ranking. It’s about 50% Chinese.

Super-interesting sometimes as it shows completely different tech trends.

Yeah, just don’t. Allowing to code in anything other than English is a disservice, plain and simple.

Inb4, I’m not being US-centric, Latin ain’t even my native alphabet.
