In your perception/experience, what is the average level of education of most Esperantists?

Also, did you feel that Esperanto is most prevalent among a certain industry? I have noticed a lot of IT people like Esperanto. What is your opinion?

I definitely see a lot of IT/Engineery-type people on Lernu at least. I'm not sure if we outnumber the linguist-type people or not.

Maybe, we can take over a large IT company. Then we write all our code in Esperanto. Esperanto would work well with coding. For example, objects end with o. methods end with i. Functions end with u. variables end with a.
It makes the code easier to read.

We could make a new "translation" of Forth, or a similar concatenative language. Since we have flexible word order, we might be able to make our routines appear to be valid Esperanto sentences. In their literature they even do make distinctions between object-like words and verb-like words (everything is a "word" in Forth).

We could publish all of our software under a new General Esperanto License, which would require any program using such software to be written "in Esperanto". Then we will surely be victorious okulumo.gif

One thought: I think it would make more sense for function/method definitions to end in -i and have invocations end in -u. Or if we're feeling really nice you could require "bonvolu (method)-i (object)on". Along those lines if you wanted to create a new instance of an object you'd have to tell the computer "bonvolu fari novan (object)on". Of course, then the computer may still come up with some lame excuse like "segmentation fault" when it doesn't want to execute your code.
