I'm a native Hebrew speaker, I wouldn't even think to put Hebrew into my code, similar to how I won't use emoji or other non-ascii characters, except Hebrew in particular is even worse since it's RTL, and mixing it into LTR code would be a pain in pretty much every text editor.

I do occaisonally find code with variable names in other languages, but it's very rare, for the most part if you want to code, English is the way.

I've also seen a few devs who used Hebrew variable names but spelled in English (`shalom` instead of שלום).
