One of the interesting bits I've read about D2009 is that source code can now be written in the language and character set of your choice. So the question is - when is Tim going to get the time to learn to read all these languages so he can continue to offer to look at our code and find our bugs?

Not the reserved words, surely.

It can be interesting but not practical. I am in Brazil and here we have,
for examples, Excels running in English in some machines and in Portuguese
in another machines but when you have macros saved in one version you can´t
run it in another Excel because there are differences between them. IF/THEN
will become SE/ENTÃO here.

Of course I can choose what language I will develop.

Regards.

Dom,

<< Not the reserved words, surely. >>

Nah, but can you imagine looking through source code where all of the
identifiers use Kanji or something similar ?  I'm getting a headache just
thinking about.  But, then again, I'm internationally illiterate, anyways.

Nah, it's not intentional, it just seems that way.
