Is there a programming language that reads right to left?

I'm quite sure that modern industrial strength programming languages, all read left to right

But out of the whole ecosystem of programming languages are there examples of right to left read languages ?

Apart from better alignment with human languages that written this way, would there be any advantage in such a language?

examples : 

int a = 5; // read left to right
tfel ot thgir daer // ;5 = a tni
Solution

  • There was a language for children called logowriter which later got translated into hebrew as תמלילוגו, since hebrew is RTL, so was the translated language.

    The תמלילוגו language was taught as part of the CS sylabus in Israeli highschools on 2008, http://www.csit.org.il/TSTBAG/2008/899122.pdf
