  For the people who don't use it as alphabet, i don't see a reason to learn the roman alphabet just to be able to use a computer. Imagine if you had to learn cyrillic alphabet or mandarin ideograms to use a computer?!

    Italian is the language of opera. With the advent of unicode, cyrillic or mandarin programming languages can flourish.

    > mandarin ideograms That's called Chinese characters in English. In its entirety, that writing system is based on logograms, hence, a programming language uses logograms, too, not only ideograms. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22216125 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22216125
