Heh.
The French actually tried to decree that all computer programs had to be written with a French-based computer language. I think they had a French-based flavor of Algol that they tried to foist on everybody.
Problem is that virtually *ALL* the computer chips used in PCs are designed in the U.S and use English-based assembly language. So the French would have had to devise their own assembly language, Assembler, Linker, and Loader, which, for every CPU chip I know about, are all in English.
Needless to say, the effort was DOA.
As a software engineer, I am not aware of any computer programming language, compiler, assembler, linker, or loader based in any language other than English. All commands for these utilities are in English or English-based mnemonics.
