alt Hacker News>It feels like Pascal in Cyrillic
replace cyrillic w/ russian and it'd be ok.
КНЦ = end (конец in russian is end). However, in bulgarian in means 'thread' (as in sewing thread) and it has lots its meaning of end, aside from 'from needle to thread' expression where it means from the tip of the needle to the end of the thread.
Also 'ALL' (и все = it's over/that's all), which should be 'end' as in begin/end in pascal.
The main point still stands - it's Pascal.

You can use "конец" for "end" in Bulgarian too, even though it's antiquated.

Being Serbian, I also find equalising Cyrillic with Russian mildly annoying. Or even worse, when people call it "Russian letters".
With that being said, I do think it's harder to make a clear programming language based on is a Slavic language, due to all the case and gender forms.
