Hi all English understanding folks on this list!

If one likes English or not: one advantage of writing a PL (programming
language) only in English is the exchangeability worldwide, i.e., on
this mailing list! For beginners it seems to be an advantage (Igor
mentioned russian pupils), but the key words of a PL should never be
transcripted to other languages. I'm sure, (I know it from my children
from preschool times) children will easily keep the few English items
like 'for while do next if then else ...', much faster the adults.

Let me state it plain: I's nonsense (at least today) to transcribe a PL
into an other language, times of Babylon are gone at least for PLs!

Have a nice day, Rolf
