It's actually just English with Greek letters, just as the user above writes in English but uses the þ (thorn) character.

Yeah. I know. And I could tell, but it drives me batty. But also: thorn is an English character!!

[–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sure, Old English. But the commenter isn't writing in old or even middle English.
