Today's Hindustan Times is only the latest publication to carry this assertion I've seen made, in different forms, for years:"A report in
Forbes magazine in 1987 said that Sanskrit is the most precise language and hence suitable language for computer software."
In this two year old post, Dilip D'Souza fisks the oft made claim the Sanskrit is the "best language for computer software". I'm always amused by such claims. I put them in the category of 'Pushpak Viman was an airplane' and 'Brahmastra in the Mahabharat was a nuclear weapon'.
