A comment on Ć Programming Language - Compile C# subset to C, Java, C#, JS, AS, Perl and D.

Great idea, but why another new language? Why not just pick a subset of C#? (or Java, or D, but subjectively speaking, C# is the most "friendly" language from that list)

It is a subset of C#. And giving that subset a name is much easier than talking about »that subset of C# that compiles cleanly to Java, D, Perl and C«.

Great then ...though even C#-- (ala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C--) would be better than using a non-English character/accent

Except when the name is Ć.

Cee acute? Doesn't strike me as that horrible.

...unless you have no idea what "acute" means or you've never seen it in your life, because you haven't been exposed to French or English musical notation before (which applies for, I'd bet, over 80% of programmers worldwide :) )

But most programmers probably have studied basic geometry.

And? There are a lot of diacritics to choose from if you don't know all their names, and that's assuming you even catch on that it's supposed to be a diacritic.

It's pretty horrible. I'm not even sure that's what it's called because I can't find the actual word "acute" on that page.

Furthermore - look at what they have to resort to calling it in code, on the command line and in URLs: ci.
