wow. what a number of errors in your comment:

intro:

you are talking to an Indian who lives in India, and who knows Hindi (a language derived from Sanskrit) fluently (and has been complimented multiple times for his Hindi speaking ability by native Hindi speakers), and who has studied Sanskrit for 3 years in high school and then 2 years in college, and Hindi for 4 years in high school, including grammar, vocabulary and literature (both poetry and prose) in both languages), and also essay-writing in Hindi. and got a high score in class in both those languages, over all the years that he studied them.

and who has spoken Hindi for much of his adult life.

both those languages are written in Devanagari.

>Sanskrit is written in Devanagari script which is used by nearly a billion people, so any language that groks Unicode identifiers should handle it fine.

whether the (programming) language can grok Unicode, has nothing to do with the number of people who use either Sanskrit or Devanagari, so your statement lacks logic, overall.

you said:

>Sanskrit is written in Devanagari script which is used by nearly a billion people

that statement shows ignorance of actual facts.

here is why:

I had an idea about these points informally, already, being an Indian who lives in India, but I still did a few quick googles, to verify:

List of languages by number of native speakers in India:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_...

Demographics of India:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_India

https://www.google.com/search?q=number+of+people+who+use+dev...

top paragraph of the results of the above search:

>Today, the Devanagari script is used to write three major languages: Hindi (over 520 million speakers), Marathi (over 83 million speakers) and Nepali (over 14 million speakers).

even if you add the number of people in the Indian diaspora, such as in Fiji, the Caribbean, etc., you will not come to nearly a billion.

you made a wrong assumption:

> You want to pose a challenge, maybe try something like Rongorongo or Klingon.

you assumed that I was posing a challenge. I was not.

you seem to have not recognised that my comment was made in jest:

>b-b-but ... does Perl support Sanskrit?

Dude, I don't think you're capable of jest. Get some therapy.

Double dude, your pathetically weak thinking, and even more, your obviously inferiority-complex-ridden nature, which is evidenced by your trying (unsuccessfully) to strike out viciously at others who make knowledgeable, reasonable and innocuous comments (see mine above, to which you replied in your ugly way), show, overall, your utter sickness and poverty, mental, physical and emotional.

first of all, I am posting again one of my earlier comments in reply to you:

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=fuzztester

let the whole world see it, and know you for the kind of guy you are, chuckadams, you creep, fake, ignoramus and liar.

acting (faux) scholarly and trying to tell me things (which are totally wrong) about my own country and culture, you jackass. you are laughable.

fool. everyone here noticed that you "cleverly" avoided replying to any of my above points, and instead tried to divert the topic by trying to insult me, you fuckhead and fucktard:

>I don't think you're capable of jest. Get some therapy.

hee hee hee.

not just me, no sane or decent person is interested in the opinions of a retard like you, except other retards like you, of which I know there are many, so some are sure to downvote my comment, but who the bloody fuck cares for votes or opinions of others, except losers like you and your friends, who I am sure you will encourage to waste their unvaluable time in downvoting, because laid off and no work and little money left, right? There are tons of recent posts on HN about all the people feeling the pain of no jobs and no money, which situation is partly if not largely due to the brain-dead shenanigans of jokers like you, who kept on demanding unsustainable raises, for years (which is why your jobs went to India and Ukraine and Mexico and ...), and job hopping for the same, which has now finally ended in so many of you guys being kicked out of your comfy, highly overpaid jobs, so that now you are on the street, scrabbling to make ends meet.

you are not capable of anything good, only of rotten shit! :)

I am fine. You need much more than therapy. you need a life, and to have interest in it. until then you will be as unhappy as you are now.

now, fuck off, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

don't waste your time insulting others gratuitously.

:) Google the double meaning (1 and 2) of that last word, or if you are unable to do it, swallow this crumb, dog:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gratuitously

and I don't give a flying shit if I am banned for this comment, because you started it, with your 2 ugly comments above, and because who gives a shit about hn in the real world anyway. let the whole world know how discriminatory HN is, with a very western-favoring slant, if not outright racism, towards Indians, Asians, etc., by comment posters, voters and moderators.

i'll repeat what i have quoted here a few times before; it's by Amy Hoy:

  Fuck HN.

that is what she famously said, somewhere on one of her sites, some years ago. yes, so that means the rottenness of the site started or already existed back then, not just now. so don't worry, you are in bad company.

Wow.
