Mischief is so tempting

I got this from my work –

The City of New York is once again on the national stage. The 2004

Republican National Convention will be held in New York City and will run

from Monday, August 30 through Thursday, September 2. It will bring 50,000

delegates, guests and dignitaries (including 15,000 reporters) to our City.

The Convention?s guests, 70 percent of whom have never before visited New

York, will fill hotels, restaurants, and theatres and take advantage of

benefits and discounts being offered by an array of merchants and cultural

institutions. The NY economy will benefit from an infusion of cash and the

international community will see the vitality and strength of our City’s

Renaissance.

The NYC Host Committee 2004 is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization

created to help host the Convention and is responsible for organizing the

welcome and execution efforts of this unprecedented event. The Host

Committee is dedicated to facilitating a turnkey, seamless event for the

Convention while showcasing the best of New York City.

Host Committee Volunteers will perform critical jobs during the 16-day

period from August 18 to September 3, performing key duties and playing

crucial roles in the areas of Transportation, Information Services,

Hospitality and Special Events. All volunteers will be trained and provided

with uniforms.

English in the technology field.

Are there any foriegn language programming languages? Any compilers that can read code written in french or indian?

English may accelerate its position as the common language of science as computers become more involved with technology and scientific publishing. Seems almost all facets of technology are english centric.

The constructs of scripting and programming languages: if, then, for, else, object, class, etc.

The elements of web syntax: head, body, link, title, margin, padding, etc.

Variable names could be in other languages, but it seems that the structure itself is centered around english.

A little research turned up very few that exist, and none that seem to really be in use.

Some have no native speakers, so I don’t know if we should count them at all, but who knows. I’ve been to dragon con – there soon may be native speakers.

Interestingly, Ruby, a sort of Perly+OO languagle, was written by a Japanese man, but it uses english constructs… What would a kanji programming language look like? How could it work?
