Tens of thousands of non-English speakers have had to learn the meaning of what might as well be meaningless, random sets of symbols (to them) like "class", "import", "while" and "True". If they can do so, perhaps we English-speakers should stop complaining about how hard it is to memorise the meaning of a couple of symbols like ??.
"class", "import", "while" and "True" are keywords, not symbols.
They are only key WORDS if you are an English speaker. If your language doesn't use the Latin script, they don't even look like words. They look like gibberish: ∌≇⊅∇∫
Are you familiar with how people who don't speak English code? I'm curious how they teach and use Python.
