I like the use of the Greek alphabet in the code base.

Doesn't this make the code more difficult to work with, sine these characters require uncommon sequences of keystrokes?

Single character Greek variables don't seem better than single character ASCII for readability.

Julia's REPL, and many editor plugins, supports tab-completion of unicode characters via their LaTeX code names, e.g. \alpha

Whoa that's awesome, are there any other languages that allow that?

Javascript too. D3 uses it quite extensively.
