"Latin is the only foreign language offered, and teachers favor blackboards over computers. A classical education, the school believes, is the foundation of students’ future." Long before I took an interest in programming and computer languages, I studied Latin and Spanish in high school and had worked out a grammar for a language I called "Simplica" which would be roughly based on Latin but purely phonetic and where all verbs would be regular. I was into language design long before I ever started applying it to computers.
