Thinking of it, perhaps it's time to revive APL. After all, there is
now a fairly large computer-literate population that's used to work
with character sets greatly exceeding traditional ASCII. Even better,
you could transliterate the APL character set. Call it HPL (Han
Programming Language), and it would be as naturally elegant and
intuitive as, say, COBOL.
ObCOBOL: What if Stroustrup was a COBOL programmer ?
ADD 1 TO COBOL, GIVING COBOL.
