Really?

There is a bunch of languages (like "Glagol") that use words of  
Russian language as keywords; AFAIK there aren't any Russian  
programmer who uses them. I've always felt sorry for English-speaking  
programmers: they HAVE to use the same words as keywords and as usual  
talking words at the same time.
