Yes, mostly bad, occasionally ok by accident:

There are for sure, and at least there is e.g. (juliasos patterned after) pythonsos:

At first I was confused, to help Python users to migrate, or use together… ?! At least there they spell syntax with a y. I suppose the good thing is that Julia is getting popular, noticed.
