Given that the typical keyboard has none of those characters, maintaining code that used any of them would be a royal pain.

Note that I'm not trying to argue either way, it's just that I used to think of Walter's stance on D and Unicode as: "D would fully embrace Unicode if only editors/debuggers etc. would embrace it too"

But now I read:

D supports Unicode in identifiers because C and C++ do, and we want to be able to interoperate with them."

So I wonder what changed. I guess it's mostly answered in the first reply:

When I originally started with D, I thought non-ASCII identifiers with Unicode was a good idea. I've since slowly become less and less enthusiastic about it.
