As far as I remember, in Algol 68 the physical representation of the program was separated from the syntax. So, in theory one should have been able to write

  hacer
    ...
  recah

Looks like Algol syntax to me.

As a spaniard, please don't.

I'm fine with programming in english, this only complicate things for everyone involved. Imagine if every popular language out there had their own adaptations or even their own programming languages.

Also, you must know english for coding. There is no way you can be a good developer without a good english knowledge - docs, specs, protocols, guides, tools, books, remote jobs with international teams... everything is in english.

Nice, it looks a little bit like Micromundos (they translate the logo language). Personally I would prefer a C like syntax instead of Algol.
