A few years ago I found out about a programming language written in #Gaeilge (the Irish language) called Setanta. I tinkered a little with it then but hit some road blocks and it seemed to have been left unsupported.
The creator Eoin Davey developed it when he was a teenager, later honed while studying computer science at NUI Maynooth in 2016.
Today I learned that it is still updated and there are some pretty great tutorials to have some fun with an IDE.
Setanta | Teanga Ríomhchlarúcháin / Programming Language

Interestingly, the weekday names used in Irish came mostly from Latin:
Luan = Luna, the moon
Máirt = Mars
Céadaoin = first fast day (original Irish name)
Déardaoin = Dé idir dhá aoin (day between two fasts)
Aoine = fast day
Satharn = Saturn
Domhnach = Dies Dominicae the Lord's Day
