> I don't know of a single computer language that isn't based on English in ASCII

I think if you’re reaching for _brainfuck_ as one of the solutions for the prevalence of English in programming; then you’ve probably failed.

A few of the languages on the list are designed precisely to be unreadable.


I think if you click a link which points to a very detailed list of programming languages based on non-English languages, then decide to take an example from a different list and suggest that’s what OP was “reaching for”; then you’ve probably failed.


my link contains programming languages based on Arabic, Chinese, etc, not just unreadable esolangs


Let’s face it. Your link defeats your own point.


Independent third party here. I don't think it does, and as such, don't think it would really be appropriate to face it.


Can you honestly say you know of AxumLight / Geez#, Al-Khawarizm, Jeem or anything at all that's based on another human language? These are mostly obscure.


I've used AC-Logo in middle school.
