I agree it would be nice if kids could learn to program computers in their 
native tongue. I was curious about this so I poked around on Google a little 
bit and found:

An excerpt:
==========

Known non-English-based programming languages:

Brainfuck - Minimalist programming language, created for the purpose of 
having a compiler fit in < 256 bytes (category 3)

FOCAL - Introduced in 1968 by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)'s Richard 
Merrill (and derived from JOSS) ¹  (category 2)

HPL - Hebrew Programming Language (category 1)

hForth - A Forth system with an optional Korean keyword set

Lexico - A Spanish language based object-oriented, educational programming 
language based on the. NET Framework.

PILOT - a Computer Aided Instruction language, somewhat similar to LOGO 
(category 3)

Plankalkül - Developed by German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, who claimed 
to have developed it in the 1940s (category 1)

Var'aq - Based on the Klingon constructed language for television series 
Star Trek  (category 4)

Now, which of these do you think is better than Revolution for teaching 
programming to young children? The Klingon one?
