APL. I also doubt Erlang (Ericsson's language) was based on English.

APL and possibly Erlang aren’t based on English, yet they never became the global standard.

Do you think it was because of technical reasons, or was it just easier for English-based languages (C, Python, JavaScript) to spread globally? If we designed a non-English programming system today, do you think it would actually gain adoption?
