This is the kind of "why not" projects that one could use Copilot for!

Sorry, I'm heading to my workstation to ask Copilot to help me build a new JVM language using ancient Greek reserved words.

I've always wanted a Spanish DB query language. SQL is very boring. It needs some pizazz and somewhat more lyrical language than what we have.

SELECCIONA * DE CLIENTES CUANDO TELÉFONO SEA NULO

I do like that

As a socially inept geek, I would like to: whisper database queries to desirable persons and have a good chance of getting some.

-- Suavemente, dame tus columnas, mi estrella

This database query language gives better results when you ask in a poetic and romantic manner.

The result might take all night, but you'll never forget it.

That's SQL with Spanish words. I think the parent meant something along the lines of: dame el nombre de cada cliente cuyo ciudad sea 'Granada' y que no tenga telefono. Anything more flowery will be hard to translate, though.

In the 70's there was a significant trend of translating programming languages to French - for example LSE, Pascal, Cobol, Algol... Didn't abide - we now take English for granted but reading code in my native is a strange sensation !

Excel uses native language tokens everywhere.

That's one way to get ready for Age of Mythology: Retold's release.
