Re: Spell Checking for Non European Languages, and for Conlangs

Thanx for information. I saw that there are things
about Ruby on the Web, so I'll try to have a look at
it. But my real dream would be to forget the language
and concentrate on the problems !!! A three-month
learning period to write 12 lines of code, and then
forget the language to try something else doesn't seem
very rational to me. Sure, it's interesting for
somebody gathering information on programming
concepts, but usually what is wanted is a result, and
not just a beautiful tool.

I find it very exasperating for ex that every
language-maker has to write such a simple statement as
: IF... THEN... ELSE... in his own manner. What does
it help ? If I remember, in Perl you have to write
"elsif", end note "else if" or "elseif" or whatever.
What is this good ? Saving 2 keystrokes ? How much
time is lost in counterpart by people coming from
other environments ? This all should have been
normalized long ago for EVERY language. I said.
