> statically compiled

Ah, of course. I forgot what "compile" actually means!

I don't know, these words seem like a really thin gloss on their English equivalents.

A Japanese mathematician I know will mentally translate all the terms in a Japanese-language math paper to English. "It just sounds silly otherwise." I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese programmers do the same thing.



Modern Chinese nouns, esp. in technical fields, tend to be word-by-word translation of their original/English terms. It's crazy to invent a new set of terms for the same thing.

Unfortunately most Chinese translation of computer science/programming books are just garbage. The irony is that if you cannot understand a translated sentence in Chinese, try to revert it (usually word-by-word) back to English and then suddenly it rings the bell. That forces me to read the original one instead ...

I heard Japanese have better translation though ...
