What are the programming languages that tried to look like normal English?

Python. Guido van Rossum (Python's creator) made a key observation: code is read far more often than it is written. Thus, readability is paramount for maintainability. With this in mind, Python has - since its birth - maintained a commitment to readability and straightforward syntax that often, but not always, boils down to what could defensibly be characterized as plain English. Here are a few examples: To check for set membership in python, all that is necessary is to use a statement like my_variable in my_list which wil return a boolean depending on whether the value my_variable is contained in the list my_list. Boolean operators are simply the English words they mean: and, or, not. An example Boolean expression looks like: (A or B) and not (A and B). Also, naming of constants is straightforward: True, False, and None (i.e., null).
