If I have understood correctly that you are claiming these are programming languages that are supposed to be usable off the shelf by non-programmers because of their similarity to natural language, then I would recommend that you try them out on some non-programmer end users for some extensive testing/revision iterations. At the very least, the English version is not ready for widespread use in its current form. (I can't really speak for the others.) As a programmer and a native English speaker, I cannot make much sense of the English line. Using my context knowledge to fill in the gaps, the best I can piece together is that you said something that refers to someone (I'm guessing Matt?) laughing about poor translations of the COBOL "hello world" program, but I could not read your intent. The major issues for me with this pseudo-English are that the syntax/grammar is unfamiliar, and that you make use of non-English words that have no meaning to me, e.g. "ob", "su", "tha", and "ya". (The words "ob" and "su" do not obviously resemble any English words that would make sense in this context, "tha" looks like a cross between "the" and "that", and "ya" ambiguously resembles both "you" and "yes".) If it had only been unfamiliar syntax, or only unfamiliar words, I might have been able to contextually piece the one together based on the other, but with both obscured I lack sufficient starting information.
