But in the article you specifically talk about the use of Unicode
in the context of source code instead of apps:
"With the D programming language, we continuously run up against
the problem that ASCII has reached its expressivity limits."
"There are the chevrons « and » which serve as another set of
brackets to lighten the overburdened ambiguities of ( ). There
are the dot-product and cross-product characters · and × which
would make lovely infix operator tokens for math libraries. The
greek letters would be great for math variable names."
