Description

Toki Pona is a philosophical and artistic constructed language designed for its small vocabulary, simplicity, and ease of acquisition.

The idea is to bring the idea of simplicity to a new programing language using this language words and limitations to implement it.

The name for this programming language could be: "toki ilo" or "ilo pona". I will ask the community to get other ideas and also to get feedback about the initial design.

The idea is to start to implement something as a gcc frontend.

Goals

  • The language design should be really simple but completely functional:
    • functions
    • variables
    • conditional
    • loop
    • data structures
  • The keywords should be from toki pona, and better if could be read as pseudo code in toki pona
  • It should be possible to "compile" code written in sitelen pona

      I've started to work on the language initial definition in github

      I've also shared the idea in the reddit community to get some feedback as soon as possible.
