> The logic of most prominent programming languages, such as Python, is based on English vocabulary and syntax — using terms like “while” or “if not” to trigger certain actions — which makes it that much more difficult to learn for non-native speakers. Furthermore, many of the most popular educational resources for learning to code, including Stack Exchange, are also in English.

It seems to me that the latter is a much bigger problem for Spanish. Programming languages have relatively few keywords. I imagine English keywords might be a big problem for people who doesn't know the latin alphabet though.
