langur
<lang langur>var .countLetters = f(.s) {
for[=h{}] .s2 in split(replace(.s, RE/\P{L}/)) {
_for[.s2; 0] += 1
}
}
writeln .countLetters("fuzzy furry kittens") writeln .countLetters("ασδ ξκλ ασδ ξα") # random Greek letters</lang>
<lang langur>var .countLetters = f(.s) {
foldfrom(
f(var .h2, .s2) { .h2[.s2; 0] += 1; .h2 },
h{},
split(replace(.s, RE/\P{L}/)),
)
}
writeln .countLetters("fuzzy furry kittens") writeln .countLetters("ασδ ξκλ ασδ ξα") # random Greek letters</lang>
