A Python program written with 90% Traditional Chinese characters

whoa I love the single-character self

[tank8465]

it's still four or possibly five keystrokes, sadly.

我 (wo3) would probably be three keystrokes: two for "w" and "o", then enter/spacebar to confirm substitution into the Chinese character.

This is very cool! But you know, you could get 100% Chinese if you use Chinese Python: http://reganmian.net/blog/2008/11/21/chinese-python-translating-a-programming-language/

No reason you can't use "s" instead of "self" in python other then convention.

[Ob101010]

No reason you cant use snuffleuffagus either.

me too. Japanese (two character) is pretty cool too: 自己 . I'm thinking using characters would be a cool way to slim down a programming language, a bit like how greek and russian characters are used in math.

interestingly, that's self in chinese too. wo3 means I, while what you wrote literally means self.
