Salam aleikum

I want to write Ruby program on my native language for example in  
Russain.  
I think its first step to real Domain-Specific language for non  
english-speaking mans .  
In new release of Ruby can I use Russian variables? Can I replace  
standard Ruby’s reserved words by new set of russian words?

with best regards Rustem

What is the advantage ?  
If you want to code in your language, then you need to traduce all  
library too…  
Code in English : your code will be _more inhomogeneous_ and you will be  
able to share it.  
If you really don’t like English then your comments can be written in  
your native language, it’s better that no comments, but not really  
portable.

Regards
