I thought it was absolutely terrific how the programming language was nearly grammatical, because English words didn't require inflecting. For instance PRINT is both the imperfective dictionary form of a verb, and an imperative. This means that programming can use English verbs in their dictionary form (easy to look up!) and yet these uses nicely read as imperatives: print this, update that, etc. The target nouns of an imperative have the same form as datives. The "foo" doesn't change between "here is variable foo" and "add 3 to foo".
I thought, man, English is working great for programming, this is so easy!
