in reply to Pyuuta: Programming in Japanese

Cool stuff! It would have been cooler if you had more documentation :-)

In a related topic, though, I definitely feel that the multibyte languages suffer from a significant disadvantage when it comes to using it as typing intensive tasks like programming

I realize this module is not intended to be a real module that everybody would be using, but I personally would never use a language that require conversion from hiragana to kanji, katakana, or what have you for programming. It takes way too long to type!

( By the way, I seem to remember somebody coming up with a programming language whose programming interface was completely in Japanese... anybody remember what that was called? )

Of course, I also tend to find that broken up japanese like that is just so ugly.... It takes away the beauty of the language, I think. But that's just me :-)
