I thought the topic was typing the occasional Unicode character to
use as an operator in D programs?
Well, D *does* support non-English identifiers, y'know... for example:
void main(string[] args) {
int число = 1;
foreach (и; 0..100)
число += и;
writeln(число);
}
Of course, whether that's a good practice is a different story. :)
But for operators, you still need enough compose key sequences to cover
all of the Unicode operators -- and there are a LOT of them -- which I
don't think is currently done anywhere. You'd have to make your own
compose key maps to do it.
The Fortress programming language has some 900 or so operators:
