Sindlish, a programming language for Sindhi speakers

Hacker News

Hi, I’m Amanat, a student from Pakistan, and I’ve been working on a programming language called Sindlish. The idea started from wondering what programming would feel like if the language used the vocabulary of the language you actually speak. Sindlish is designed for Sindhi-speaking communities and currently uses Romanized Sindhi syntax. A small example: ```text kaam jor(a, b) -> adad { wapas a + b } adad jawab = jor(3, 4) * 2 likh("jawab =", jawab) ``` It currently has its own lexer, parser, resolver, bytecode compiler, stack-based VM, type system, error handling, collections, closures, CLI/REPL and VS Code support. It’s still a work in progress, and I’d really like feedback on the language design and the implementation. Website: https://sindlish.vercel.app/ The website may be a little slow right now since most of my time is going into the language itself rather than the website.
