Abstract

The use of 'Idumunja' for programs is inevitable before Unicode came out. However, even now that Unicode has been established as an international standard in both name and reality, there has been an insistence that the use of Hangeul identifiers should be avoided. This study surveyed the students for the reasons why they prefer to use English identifiers and for the notations that can substitute the function of English capital letters in using Hangeul identifiers. Then, we discussed the vanity of argument that the use of English identifiers is a global trend, and proposed two notations for the use of Korean identifiers. In order to improve the productivity of software, programmer's job satisfaction, and the ease of maintenance, the use of Hangeul identifiers should become rapidly common.

유니코드가 나오기 전까지는 프로그램용 이두문자의 사용이 불가피한 면이 있었다. 그러나 유니코드가 국제표준으로 명실공이 자리 잡은 지금에도 한글 식별자의 사용을 피해야 한다고 주장하는 것은 세종 이후 지속적으로 한글 사용을 천시하고 반대한 것과 비슷한 측면이 있다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터학과 학생들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 영어 식별자 사용을 선호하는 이유와 한글 식별자를 사용한다고 할 때 영어 대문자의 기능을 대체할 표기법에 대한 선호도를 조사하였다. 그리고 영어 식별자 사용의 대세론이 허망함에 대해 논의하고, 한글 식별자 사용을 위한 두 가지 명명법을 제안하였다. 소프트웨어 생산성 향상을 위해, 프로그래머의 작업 만족도 향상을 위해, 유지보수의 용이성을 위해 한글 식별자 사용이 조속히 보편화될 필요가 있다.
