I can not understand why, way in the XXIst century, in a language that from the beginning supports for unicode identifiers we are at ascii charset overloading bikeshed. Why type `type` or (in other proposal $, or <> or [] or whatever<128) if I might press Super-T and get ʧ. Or press Super-G and get ʭ.
I hear that only gurus will write generic code. Might it be, but thousands of rookies should be able to read this generic code before they make their first commit. Gurus will know how to map their keyboards. Rookies on their (win) machines have circa 1000 glyphs in basic system fonts. (On any linux distro have over 3000). Why on earth keep on ascii?
