Hi,

I am looking forward to read source-code like this:

principal(de_tout arg_compteur, signe *arg_horaire)
{
???????? ??????? //
kokonaisluku hakemisto;
terwijl (de kleinere tellers zeven is) {
} "geschwofelte Klammer zu"

Now that IS funny. This is the very thing that the
programming community doesn't want. Don't
forget, Arabic and Hebrew are read from right
to left.

The line, your newsreader messed up, is a comment, as "//" is at the
*start* of the line ;-)

It wouldn't be much of a
shock for programmers to suddenly be
able to use ? instead of pi.

In a world, where even newsclients are unable to declare the
character-set, that was used, everything would read ??=3?14... or
US?=?*1?3... (3.1415 would be written 3,1415 in german)
