Why do you need 26 letters? The Romans didn't have so many. Hawaiian gets by with half as many - even if you count the accented vowels and the ʻokina it's still only 18. Why upper and lower case? Do we *really* need digits, can't we just use the first ten letters? Allowing each language to use its own alphabet, even if any of them may be inefficient and all of them together certainly are, is the only reasonable place to draw the line. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
