But yea, it would be interesting to see a langauge that was based on
something very different. A German-based one would be fun.

(A beginner's language that evolved around "turtle graphics")
Or even better,
something that doesn't use the Latin alphabet, like Japanese or Hebrew or
Russian. Or Swahili (which is an awesome-sounding language). Designing/using
an Arabic (right-to-left, IIRC) programming language would be a great
mind-fuck.
You are free too use Hebrew, Cyrillic or Arabic characters for your identifiers
right now. Only the keywords and druntime/Phobos would remain English:
int main()
{
int العربية = 42; // <- I really love this mind-fuck !!!
return العربية;
}
Heh one of us should hack up DMD to produce a NihonD, using (or
at least allowing) kanji instead of the kanas wherever appropriate :) That'd
be both fun to make and to use.
