Here are some code examples for anyone curious to see how it looks

My first impression is that it looks like a mix of Lua and Python.


I don't see much Python, mainly Lua with Spanish keywords and function names, basically. while => mientras, if => si, end => fin, break => romper, print => poner, etc.

I learned programming with such a "localized" version of simplified FORTRAN, but I didn't find it intuitive or conducive to learning how to program. Later, I read a study (can't cite it; lost the details) that found interference from programming language keywords in English speakers, but not in others, and they suggested it might actually be easier to learn programming with English keywords.


It says it has local-by-default scoping, which would be a Python influence. But now I'm not sure. When I tested the program the variables set inside the function seem to still be present after the function returns?

Well, yeah....
