My experience with German programming languages is with Siemens PLC's, since the programming language changes together with the IDE when you set the language to German. Looking at Structured Text / Instruction List having U (und) instead of A (and) operator and bunch of other things was interesting.
But IIRC there were also higher programming languages that are in other languages? Wasn't there one for arabic? Was this it: https://github.com/nasser/---/
There's also Alef, which I thought was the only Arabic programming language 'till now.
Edit: after searching around, there seems to be lots of Arabic scripting and programming languages, most are discontinued:
As an Arab, I now want to learn to code in Qalb so I can romantically say that I know the workings of the heart <3
Also, how about we make a programming language called ب and have it just stand for برمجه ("Barmaja": literally programming in Arabic)
The pain is real. Now I wanna design/implement a programming language in the Egyptian dialect (j/k. fuck no)
There's already an Egyptian and a Moroccan Wikipedia version. The Qalb language uses the Lebanese dialect. Don't give them ideas, the threat is real.
Maybe that was the one I've originally seen. Not sure which one :D
Of course.. even an Arabic programming language has a recursive acronym name
