Hi everyone,

Today I’m starting a new personal project. As I do a lot of scientific programming, mostly with Matlab, I have found very inconvenient the fact that I cannot enter greek character in my codes. I will give you a simple example, so you understand what I’m talking about.

For a certain formula my current Matlab code looks like this:
THETA = THETAo/(THETAo^2 + LAMBDAo^2);

Wouldn’t the code be nicer if you could write:
Θ = Θo/(Θo^2 + Λo^2);

For this reason I am starting GατΩR, a text editor tailored to scientific programming languages, as Matlab, with the only purpose to help in the readability of scientific codes involving a lot formulas containing variables that are normally represented with Greek letters.

Visit my new blog http://gatoreditor.wordpress.com/ and please leave comments and tell me if youlike the idea! Hope it does :P
