Fair enough, but imagine how much easier things would have been if we had those two extra keys on our keyboards for the last 40 years.

- floatingatoll 5y agoI believe you could type it in DOS with the same trick that works today: Alt-028, though nowadays you have to say Alt-001E due to Unicode. (Actual ascii/uni codes may vary.) Perl6 tried incorporating non-US-keyboard characters into the language and that went very badly. I'm sure it works fine for Perl6 people, but beyond that boundary, I still encounter people who can't type é on a Mac with the keyboard alone today, much less handle Alt-001E. So I am extremely pessimistic.
