Awesome! I've always wondered what programming languages looked like in other languages. It's so easy to forget that English is only the first language of ~8% of people.

There are a good few there listed under "Based on non-English langauges" if you're interested in more.

Also, I think Ruby was designed to be programmed in Japanese, but the guy making it decided it was not a great idea and switched to English, interestingly.
