         | Lingua::Romana:Perligata for precisely that reason. Of all the
         | Romance languages Romanian is the closest to Latin, so they
         | actually find/found the resulting code to be more readable than
         | normal Perl with all of its English keywords, standard
         | functions, and so on.

       | sort of as the paper said.
