You know, programming languages for kids become popular nowadays and some of them get funding from government. Not all children know english well enough, so language-specific pharo could also be advertised from this prospective Cheers, Alex On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 4:08 PM, Aliaksei Syrel <alex.syrel@gmail.com> wrote:

:) Btw, Yuriy, somehow after your comment I got an idea to try if it would be possible to write pharo code in a language different from english. And the answer is yes! Pharo allows class and method names to be non-latin:

However, if I try to have non-latin inst var name I get:

Which is a bug, I suppose :D https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16941/Slots-can-not-have-non-latin-names

If anyone will get bored or have too many free time - fix is welcomed :D

Cheers, Alex

Hi

As you may know current embedded fonts don't have many non-latin characters. Luckily adobe updated them and pushed new versions on github https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans-pro https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro
