Hebrew ?
 
I think Yiddish
 
@Zacharý @EriktheOutgolfer I speak Yiddish at home and Uriel speaks Hebrew at home. He wished me a good week (Jewish week just started) in Yiddish, and I greeted him back in Hebrew. The APL Jews…
 
Yep ... and all in the latin script.
 
@Zacharý rtl is a mess. I usually name variables in English when coding, but even if I don't I use only Latin letters
 
Could be worse, could be traditional mongolian script (top to bottom, then left to right)
 
11:16 PM
@Zacharý I think they use some Cyrillic system today
 
They use both, IIRC
 
@Zacharý it's not that weird, like an Arabic script grid transposed
 
But representing top to bottom is WORSE than RTL when the characters have initial, medial, and final forms.
 
@Zacharý not if you flip your screen on it's side ס_ס
 
There's been a whole Unicode proposal about that, so not really.
@Uriel Anyone?
 
11:25 PM
@Zacharý Unicode is probably gonna be outdated by the first encounter with an extra terresial intelligent life
 
Where did you draw that idea from? Calling either the script or the people alien?
 
@Zacharý huh? Nope. I just meant that aliens probably won't use any scripts. Especially if they are as advanced as interstellar travelers. Some cerebral implants form of comms probably
 
Don't think so, and shouldn't we take this outside of a chat room for APL?
⎕←'@','Uriel'
 
@Zacharý well, they probably will be able to understand APL
 
@Zacharý
@Uriel
 
11:29 PM
waits for Adám to move messages

@Uriel They might be able to understand binary lambda calculus better than APL, in all honesty.
 
@Zacharý their systems would probably use malbolge, just for fun
 
(It's getting too off topic)
⎕←⎕←⎕←⎕←⎕←⎕←'HELLO'
 
@Zacharý
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
 
@EriktheOutgolfer I wonder under what room
 
11:39 PM
31 messages moved from APL

@Uriel, ping
 
Usage of information technology among extra terrestrial species?
 
Depends on how advanced they are.
 
Usage of information technology among intersteller faring extra terrestrial intelligent species?
 
Still. They could have sent a population out while being around our intelligence (probably a little more advanced), they would still be using information technology that would be around the same pace.
pong
APL puns, anyone?
