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, another programming language we can't google! Please rename it to Membranous language.

Nice idea, but please give it a name that makes the language easy to discuss and search for. There's no way I'm going to work on Monday and discussing: 'did you see that new language that I have no idea how it's pronounced that was on HN?'

Almost all other languages have ASCII names. How do you think South Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, etc refer to them? They figured it out, just like you would, if you wanted to.

Or for that matter, type. At least C♯ has "C#". Maybe we can use C' ?
At least in OS X, you can type Ć by holding C and pressing 2: http://i.imgur.com/6xCSVW5.png

Who's "we"? Your OS only supports 7-bit ASCII or what? https://www.google.com/search?q=%C4%86%20programming%20langu...
Also, look at the author's own examples. They already have to resort to calling it "ci" in code and on the command line (and in URLs).

Right. Who would ever want to be able to write libraries that can run on any platform?
I'm not saying there isn't a need, but I'm interested in knowing of another need. Hasn't this been done in C already? C pretty much runs anywhere, after all. What exactly does this bring to the table? Sorry that people thought I was being negative (as per all the downvotes - you people really aught to comment), I'm just curious as to why other languages don't fill this gap.
