::::::: You can assume a Russian or Thai is better off typing in escape sequences than his natural language, he might even enjoy it, who knows. You can stick with ASCII, or go back to punch cards, or directly wire 1s and 0s into your computer with a soldering iron for all I care, it's really not my problem. The rest of the world does see the benifit of a large unified character set and will move towards it, and I personally would rather get along with it -- but no more arguing here from me, you win. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 08:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC) |

::::“You just need to speak the language of the of compiler or interpreter.” Isn't it nice that a number of languages are happy to support non-ASCII in identifiers then? People can use (variations on) their own (human) language when communicating with the computer, and it will all be semantically sound too. Moreover, if the language supports them, it'd be a poor implementation of that language that didn't. ;–) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 21:45, 9 July 2011 (UTC) |

:::::: Just to be clear, I meant keyboards should carry ASCII symbols in addition to native language symbols, not instead of native language symbols. :) [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 09:30, 10 July 2011 (UTC) |
