# Hi
A new, symbolic programming language inspired by JavaScript — but with a "corely" symbolic design. Fewer keywords, more universal symbols. Hi aims to be approachable worldwide.
> Tip: All code snippets below use JavaScript syntax highlighting while Hi is still evolving.
Meet Hi — a corely symbolic language inspired by JavaScript.
It keeps the core mostly symbols and uses keywords only where they’re truly practical.
## Hello, world
\`\`\`js
// This is hello world in Hi
- Minimal surface: prefer symbols over words.
- Blocks are both objects and functions.
- Privacy with `#private` members.
- Boolean is truthiness by value (see below).
> Print helper: `_()` writes to the console.
## Hello, world {#hello}
~~~js
// Hello World in Hi
_("Hi world")
\`\`\`
~~~
## Symbols you’ll meet first
- \`: \` declaration
- \`= \` assignment
- \`{ ... }\` a Block (both object and function)
- \`#name\` private field in a Block
- \`_("...")\` print (show text)
- \`? :\` conditional (blocks return last value)
- \`* { ... }\` loop body
- \`>>\` continue, \`^\` break
## Declarations and Assignment {#decl}
Blocks are always both an object and a function. They can hold properties and executable code at once.
- `:` declares a name.
- `=` assigns or mutates a value.
~~~js
greeting: "Hi"
name: "Orion"
greeting = greeting + ", " + name
_(greeting) // "Hi, Orion"
~~~
## Blocks (object + function in one) {#blocks}
In Hi, `{}` is a Block. It can hold properties and executable code.
A Block is both an “object” and a “function” at the same time.
## Blocks
### Function Block
\`\`\`js
~~~js
sayHi: {
_("Hi")
}
sayHi() // call the Block like a function
\`\`\`
sayHi() // invokes the block
~~~
### Object Block
\`\`\`js
Public vs private fields; `#` marks private members.
~~~js
player: {
name: "Orion" // public
#hp: 100 // private
}
_(player.name) // "Orion"
\`\`\`
// _(player.#hp) // error: private
~~~
### Hybrid Block
\`\`\`js
Blocks can expose methods and hold private state.
~~~js
counter: {
#value: 0
inc: {
value = value + 1
_("The count is now: " + value)
#value = #value + 1
_("The count is now: " + #value)
#value // last expression returns
}
}
counter.inc() // The count is now: 1
counter.inc() // The count is now: 2
\`\`\`
counter.inc() // "The count is now: 1"
counter.inc() // "The count is now: 2"
~~~
### Parameters
\`\`\`js
### Parameters and returns
- Parameters use `(name, ...)` before the Block.
- Like Rust, the last expression is returned (no `return` keyword).
~~~js
withParams: (str) {
_(str)
str // returned
}
withParams("Hola") // prints Hola
\`\`\`
## Truthiness and equality
Hi emphasizes clear truthiness:
\`\`\`js
0 // falsy (official false)
!0 // truthy (official true)
add: (a, b) { a + b }
_( add(2, 3) ) // 5
~~~
## Truthiness and Equality {#truth}
Truthiness is value-based:
~~~js
0 // falsy (the official false)
!0 // truthy (the official true)
4 // truthy
"" // falsy (truthy if non-empty)
{} // falsy (truthy if contains fields or code ran)
[] // falsy (truthy if non-empty)
-0 // falsy / null / undefined equivalent-ish in Hi's model
{} // falsy (truthy if it has content)
[] // falsy (truthy if it has content)
-0 // falsy / null / undefined (represents “empty”)
~~~
// Equality is simple:
Equality:
~~~js
== // equivalent to JS ===
\`\`\`
~~~
## Conditionals
Blocks return their last value (like Rust expressions).
\`\`\`js
## Conditionals (ternary-style Blocks) {#conds}
A conditional is an expression that selects a Block.
~~~js
// if
(cond) ? { _("yes") }
(cond) ? { /* then */ }
// if / else
(cond) ? { _("yes") } : { _("no") }
(cond) ? { /* then */ } : { /* else */ }
// as an expression
// expression result is the last Block’s last expression
tern: (cond) ? { "A" } : { "B" }
_(tern) // prints A or B
~~~
// else-if chain
Multi-branch:
~~~js
score: 85
grade: (score > 90) ? { "A" }
: (score > 80) ? { "B" }
: { "C" }
_(grade) // "B"
\`\`\`
## Arrays
\`\`\`js
_(grade) // "B"
~~~
## Arrays {#arrays}
~~~js
primes: [2, 3, 5, 7]
// Access
@@ -203,154 +218,133 @@ firstPrime: primes[0]
// Mutation
primes[0] = 1
_(primes) // [1, 3, 5, 7]
\`\`\`
~~~
## Loops
Use \`* { ... }\` after a loop header. \`>>\` continues, \`^\` breaks.
\`\`\`js
// for
## Loops {#loops}
`* { ... }` after a loop header runs the Block each iteration.
~~~js
// for (init; test; step)
(i: 0; i < 5; i = i + 1) * {
_(i)
(i == 2) ? { >> } // continue at i==2 (skip rest)
}
// while
(done: !0) * {
// ...
(!0) * {
// do something forever...
^ // break when done
}
// Controls
>> // continue
^ // break
~~~
## Bridging examples {#bridge}
Closures over private state:
~~~js
makeCounter: {
#v: 0
{
inc: { #v = #v + 1; #v }
value: { #v }
}
\`\`\`
## Putting it together
Here are a few small programs that connect the dots.
### FizzBuzz
\`\`\`js
fizzbuzz: (n) {
(n % 15 == 0) ? { "FizzBuzz" }
: (n % 3 == 0) ? { "Fizz" }
: (n % 5 == 0) ? { "Buzz" }
: { n }
}
(i: 1; i <= 16; i = i + 1) * {
_( fizzbuzz(i) )
}
\`\`\`
c: makeCounter()
c.inc() // 1
c.inc() // 2
c.value() // 2
~~~
### A tiny accumulator
\`\`\`js
acc: {
#sum: 0
add: (x) { sum = sum + x }
get: { sum }
Tiny program with input and branching:
~~~js
welcome: (name) {
msg: (name && name != "") ? { "Hi, " + name + "!" } : { "Hi!" }
_(msg)
msg
}
acc.add(6)
acc.add(7)
_( acc.get() ) // 13
\`\`\`
welcome("Ada") // "Hi, Ada!"
welcome("") // "Hi!"
~~~
### Recursive example
\`\`\`js
fib: (n) {
(n < 2) ? { n } : { fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) }
}
_( fib(6) ) // 8
\`\`\`
## Notes {#notes}
## Design philosophy
Hi keeps its core "mostly symbols" to be friendlier across languages and writing systems. Keywords appear where they’re practical; everywhere else, symbols do the heavy lifting. The goal: an approachable, expressive language for the whole world.
- Comments use `//`.
- Strings are `"..."`.
- Blocks return their last expression.
- Private members (`#x`) are visible only inside their Block (and nested Blocks that resolve to it).

Hi is in active development. Expect changes, clarifications, and more features, examples, and tooling soon. Stay tuned!

Hi is still in active development. This page will grow with specs, a reference, and a playground. Contributions and feedback are welcome!
