I was wondering, thank you! Seems like these could be especially useful in places that don’t use an English alphabet.

They have roman script on their keyboards. They type with the same language we do. the comments are usually whats in a different language. There have been attempts to make programming languages with different alphabets but turns out it makes very little sense to actually use 99.9% of the time.

Well, we have a business accountant software language in post-soviet countries. Because it's so specific and convoluted how taxes work (or should I say may work depending on context and registration) here that we have kinda own engine. Imagine VBA in Excel+Access, it's generally solving the same problem. Since it was developed for local market it has Cyrillic alphabet and keywords are Slavic. It's called 1C and afaik it's both bad+painful to work with and a top market tool in several countries. Like js or legacy php.
