If you’re from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

    Brainfuck certainly isn’t. Most assembly languages use opcodes that are sorta English abbreviations, like STA for Store value in the A register. I haven’t done much work in assembly but I think there are several standards which don’t strictly speaking use English keywords.

    I do recall hearing of a language described as “You can write in it in any language” I guess meaning the various bits of syntax are done with special characters? I forget which it is.
