An Interview with Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto (opens in new tab)

A simple Python program:

  import sys
  filenames = sys.argv[1:]
  
  def fixline(filename):
       text = open(filename).read()
       text = text.replace('\n\r','\n')
       return text

  for file in filenames:
       print fixline(file)

  載入 系統
  文件名 = 系統.參數[1:]

  定義 修正行尾(文件):
       內文 = 打開(文件名).讀入()
       內文 = 內文.替換('\n\r','\n')
       傳回 內文

  取 文件 自 文件名:
       寫 修正行尾(文件)

Besides CJK, there are several programming languages that based on non-English languages [2]. A few ones are even widely used in industry.

If you're talking about code written in non-English languages, Peter Cooper has a fun article about writing Ruby code in UTF-8: http://www.rubyinside.com/the-split-is-not-enough-whitespace...
