Why do you think its a bad idea? It makes it such that code can be in various
languages? Just lack of keyboard support?
Every time I've been to a programming shop in a foreign country, the developers
speak english at work and code in english. Of course, that doesn't mean that
everyone does, but as far as I can tell the overwhelming bulk is done in english.
Naturally, full Unicode needs to be in strings and comments, but symbol names? I
don't see the point nor the utilty of it. Supporting such is just pointless
complexity to the language.
