Linotte
Linotte is an interpreted 4th generation programming
language. Linotte's syntax is in French. Linotte
Paradigm object-oriented
The language's goal is to allow French-speaking children and
(prototype-based),
other francophones with little computer science experience to
structured, and
easily learn programming,[1] with the slogan (in French) "you
know how to read a book, so you can write a computer imperative
program".[2] First appeared 22 October 2005

Vocabulary Website langagelinotte.free.fr
(http://langagelinott
Linotte uses a non-technical vocabulary entirely in French. Its e.free.fr/)
terms are closer to those used in film or literature, with a
program being a book, a variable being an actor, and the screen a canvas. Instead of executing a book,
it is read.

The function body starts at "début", French for "start". Keywords that in other languages might be
named things "print" or "log" in Linotte are named things like "affiche", French for "display":

BonjourLeMonde:
début
affiche "Bonjour le monde !"

Similarly, a program can "demande", or ask, to prompt the user to enter a value.

Capabilities
Linotte also supports things like networking and graphics, and even contains a web templating engine
that allows the mixing of HTML and Linotte in the same file, much like PHP or JSP.[3]
