I love this. Nice work!

It’s fun to look at your code samples, have absolutely no clue what any of it means, and think about just how many non-English-speaking programmers must have felt that way looking at our all-English programming languages.

Except lisp: that’s just inscrutable symbols like cond and cons and car and cadr and a bunch of parens! :-)

The real barrier is not just the language keywords but lots of documentations and discussions in English. I'm not sure whether there is a solution to this.

Haha, using Eng has been reasonable for decades. Thank you very much of your comments.
