Hi Folks,
There's a note in November's Communications of the ACM titled "Sir, Please Step Away from the ASR-33!" with the sub-title "To move forward with programming languages we must first break free from the tyranny of ASCII".
It's interesting that Ada has already stepped away from ASCII. Many of the test cases for my ZanyBlue.Text localization support library contain non-ASCII source, e.g., a test enumeration with identifiers containing Greek characters:
type Greek is (αβγ, βγα);
Take care,
Michael.
