@[email protected] yeah, input can be a challenge. Even here in Italy teaching primary age kids I've hit a few things I didn't expect ('~' just doesn't exist on the standard Italian key layout, for instance). I don't have direct experience with non Latin alphabet learners but like you I'm guessing it's a painful extra hurdle.

@[email protected] Sort of, although see efforts like hedy.org/ sharing naive language programming.
That said, I've been told it's not quite as bad as it sounds. A lot of code uses abbreviations, terms outside of normal language, or words in unusual ways anyway ('bool', 'for', 'def') so it doesn't help but it isn't any worse than car and cdr.
I can't say that it doesn't feel unfair though.
