Looks very interesting but I don’t understand chinse so I’d be curious what chinese programmers think about it. I think a scheme lisp in chinese would be quite efficient in terms of visually parsing the code.
Example of the code:
Evil Energy is death
The Legend says doo
Spirit takes Will
Give back Will plus The Legend
Put The Legend into my perspective
my dream was spellbound
While Evil Energy is stronger than my dream
Put Spirit taking my perspective into my perspective
Knock Evil Energy downPlay also has the advantage of being utterly unconstrained by any need to “be serious”, and in having no fear in failures. Can you imagine silly fun design risks being taken while crafting the next “Ada”? Or even the next Python or Swift?
At “worst”, the exercise runs its course having demonstrated pictographic writing systems impractical for real-world software development. (And, for my money, voice is really the next way to go.) Still, with a potential ready-made audience of 1.4 BILLION, I think such exploratory work is not a wasted investment.
It will always be just a hobby like the latin perl script.
