alt Hacker NewsA programming language based on grammatical cases of Turkish
Comments
Got especially excited, since I also experimented on a similar idea a few years ago:

Will check this out further in the following days. Thanks for sharing!
Clicking the link with a prejudice in my mind, I found the definitions cleverly clean and easy to understand. I would be pleased to see a German version of it, just to have a good laugh.
Not relevant to the language itself but to the grammar: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=73
Haha I can read some casual Turkish and this made my day!
Funny how the case system of Turkish is both strong and standardized enough for this to work well. I don't know any other language where flexible argument order would work so well.
Reminds me a bit of Lingua::Romana::Perligata.
It would be really helpful if this page showed side-by-side comparisons of the same program written in Kip and some other language, like say Haskell.
I'm having a hard time seeing how this is much different from record types, except that you're limited to only eight fixed record field names (one for each grammatical case).
I love this kind of stuff - non-English programming languages, particularly when they utilise language features in unexpected ways like this.
My Turkish is pretty rusty - and was never any good anyway, but really cool stuff.
A language an LLM can choke on!
Of course, missing

the developers don't even live in turkey. one is in maryland, the other in new york. and developing turkish programming language. ayy lmao
Hi all, Kip's developer here! I was going to wait until we had finished the playground and landing page before posting about the project more, but here's the browser-based playground we have so far (thanks to Alperen Keles) for anyone who wants to play with the language: https://alpaylan.github.io/kip/
(The work on JavaScript transpilation just started today and currently doesn't work, but running the language should mostly work, though it probably has bugs, which I'd love to hear about in the repo's issues!)
