alt Hacker NewsHi 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!)

Fantastic work, an area I’ve always wanted to explore.

Sorry! It was too beautiful not to share it. But I'm sure you can do a show HN once you think is ready.

Question on some of the syntax. It's neat, and think the idea's cool. Would definitely be something if nothing else for security through obscurity. Is it even code?
However, for some of the number stuff, if you write something like:
How does it tell whether it is: Does it always just return 2 because of the meaning of "farkını" and the placement of 'le and 'ün? Like: Google just gave back: Not especially familiar with Turkish, and mostly had to use translation, yet it looks like a language for defining math theorems? Number following "zero" shall be called "one", number following "one" shall be called "two". Or is that more just a feature of using natural language for the writing syntax?
