in thread Perl 6 language -- change in hyperoperator syntax

I've always been amused/irritated that programming languages inflict American English on the rest of the world. Whether you're French, Chinese, or Greek or Malay, you have to program in English: if/then/else, while, open, ... As a Canadian, I'm especially frustrated at having to use the American spelling of color, instead of colour as used by the rest of the English Speaking world ( UK, Canada, South Afric, New Zealand, Australia, etc.), ,whether I'm looking at Java, Tk, HTML or Javascript.

So it's an interesting twist to have a unicode operator ... too bad it's a bit lengthy in ASCII. I guess/hope it will motivate people to learn to type unicode.
