The person who wrote Ruby is japanese, I dunno if it ever had japanese keywords though - I've heard people who don't speak english words usually just learn the handful of english keywords and live with it, sort of like how us english speakers use lambda. Java can be written in unicode, leading to potentially unreadable files. I dunno if most foreign programmers write in unicode or represent their variable names in regular ascii for the purposes of readability. An interesting anecdote - the word 'Jungle' has been adopted by danish, and is pronounced the same way, even though danish historically has no J sound, or even a letter J. It's on all their keyboards though... -Bram _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
