Wonder if you can write Ruby in Chinese

> Was wondering after recent ruby meetup if you could write ruby in Chinese. Seems you can only problem being you have to name Classes beginning with a Capital letter. So I ended up doing O? so that the name began with a capital.

"class name needs to begin with a CONSTANT so uppercase"
class O目
     def 时
         puts "模棱两可"+"夏天"
     end
end
a = O目.new
a.时
On a Mac at least you can name that file as "时". All those characters are just nonsense Pinyin characters. Google translates 模棱两可夏天 as "Ambiguous summer" :) , probably not entirely accurate but hopefully its not something too offensive.
