I say this tongue in cheek: With current IDEs having such great autocompletion, has anyone experimented with coding far outside of the ASCII character set? Programming language restrictions aside, I recognize the obvious troubles this would cause. And yet I do a lot of work on simulations where math formulas are converted to code, which means lots of compounded Greek names like "omegaSquared" or "epsilonMinus". Naming decisions becomes more challenging as subscripts and superscripts are added, yet alone matrix indices. At some point perhaps the symbolic name should be replaced with the descriptive name, such as "first_eccentricity_flat_to_fourth". But it sure would be nice to have access to something with such brevity.
