Not a big deal. They are only 33 symbols, not thousands of hieroglyph. And unlike English, you don't need to learn how to pronounce words, you just read them as is. The letters that seem to be identical to latin, are pronounced in a different way then in English, so this can be a problem indeed.

Russians programmers has won many contests. They are indeed one of the best ones.
Many Russian programmers and software engineers that I know have very strong mathematical and IT background, so a coder has a negative shade for many of them. That's because they can solve the toughest problems. I guess that MS, Google, Intell,... would be different without Russians.
