Not that I've ever even used Prothon, although I thought the way the implementor dropped it into conversation was non-obnoxious. There could be a valuable lesson here.
I'm not talking about the way the implementor "dropped it into conversation," I'm talking about the way the language is beyond sold. The blurb on the Web site mentions this as a selling point, and as a subtitle for "The Spry Computer Language":
