Just consult one of your preferred search engines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_languages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-English-based_programming_languages -> Glagol – A Russian-based programming language similar to Oberon and Pascal -> Rapira – A Russian-based interpreted procedural programming language with strong dynamic type system ... But maybe offtopic for this list... Markus _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
