Programming languages have been around since nearly the beginning of the information age. Since most advancements and early tech companies were in western English-speaking countries, it’s no surprise that the English language has been embedded into the syntax of the more popular coding languages. This inclusion of English words in programming languages has been something that has always interested me. If English is not a developers first language then surely it becomes much harder to grasp the fundamentals when they first learn it. This also made me wonder if there were any programming languages that are popular in the non-English speaking world.
