This reminds me of Latino [1] and Si [2]. Time to add Vainilla to the list [3]. [1] https://www.lenguajelatino.org/ [2] https://akercheval.github.io/si/ [3] https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming...
Suggestion: the replacement for the new keyword should be crear, not nueva. This makes more sense as a verb (even when translated back to English!) and side-steps the gender issues.
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 internati…
Agreed. I think it's a bad idea (for the stated purpose, not as a nice little project which is always good to see of course). There's already sort of a problem in spanish texts (articles, some books) where the author chooses to make up (often cringy) translations for terms that don't really have an accepted counterpart in spanish. So they just translate the thing literally, and without consistency. Each author decide…
I have a theory that the frequency of the use of those translations (arreglo, aplicativo) in a workplace is directly proportional to the amount of bureaucracy in it.

Inform7 in spanish would be neat to have for kids, for example. It's not about programming, it's more about expressing themselves through a game.
In addition to the standard English-like AppleScript syntax, Apple also developed [1] localized dialects including French and Japanese, as well as a "professional" query language syntax:
English: the first character of every word whose style is bold
Japanese: スタイル＝ボ-ルドであるすべての単語の最初の文字
French: le premier caractère de tous le mots dont style est gras
Professional: { words | style == bold }.character[1]
The dialects apparently shared a common internal representation so you could write a script in one language and then view/edit it in another (of course comments would still be in the original language.)
From an interesting retrospective by one of its designers:

The terminology is well established and standardized in english, so if someone says things like bus, heap/stack allocation, driver, or even simple random things like timeout, tracker, to trim a string, to wrap an error, etc. everyone knows what you mean but when people write their docs in spanish and make up their own terms (let alone the mental effort required to translate every term), you can quite easily end up with a huge mess.
Por favor, programad en inglés y usando los términos conocidos y si tenéis un equipo a cargo forzad a hacerlo así, os lo agradecerán en el futuro!

Pedantic is being the friendly, correcting cynic. Native Spanish speakers use si as si in texts and informal messages all the time. It's understood from context; I think.
Some native Spanish speakers make abhorrent mistakes when using their language. That doesn’t make it okay.

It turns out that there may be a shared etymology from Old French "arraier" (I arrange, prepare, put in order; contrast En. disarray ). So, as far as choices go it's not necessarily a bad one.
