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.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_languages 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.
