Meet Hi a corely symbolic language inspired by JavaScript.
It keeps the core mostly symbols and uses keywords only where theyre truly practical.
- Minimal surface: prefer symbols over words.
- Blocks are both objects and functions.
- Privacy with `#private` members.
- Boolean is truthiness by value (see below).

# Hi A Corely Symbolic Language
Inspired by JavaScript, for the whole world. By prioritizing symbols over keywords, Hi's core logic becomes more universal and intuitive to read across human languages.
> Print helper: `_()` writes to the console.
---
## Hello, world
As is tradition, let's start with the basics.
~~~js
// Hello World in Hi
_("Hi world")
~~~
---
## Declarations and Assignment
- `:` declares a name.
- `=` assigns or mutates a value.
Hi uses `:` to declare a name and `=` to assign or mutate its value. This clear separation avoids ambiguity.
~~~js
greeting: "Hi"
name: "Orion"
@@ -97,24 +75,21 @@ greeting = greeting + ", " + name
_(greeting) // "Hi, Orion"
~~~
## Blocks (object + function in one)
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: The Core Concept
The `{}` syntax creates a **Block**, Hi's fundamental building unit. A Block is a container that can hold both properties and executable code. Its an object and a function, simultaneously.
### Function Block
When a Block is followed by `()`, its code is executed.
~~~js
sayHi: {
_("Hi")
}
sayHi() // invokes the block
sayHi() // invokes the block, prints "Hi"
~~~
### Object Block
Public vs private fields; `#` marks private members.
A Block can hold data. Use `#` to mark members as private.
~~~js
player: {
name: "Orion" // public
@@ -125,16 +100,13 @@ _(player.name) // "Orion"
~~~
### Hybrid Block
Blocks can expose methods and hold private state.
Combine state and methods in one Block. Privacy is respected within the Block's scope.
~~~js
counter: {
#value: 0
inc: {
#value = #value + 1
_("The count is now: " + #value)
#value // last expression returns
}
}
@@ -142,58 +114,51 @@ counter.inc() // "The count is now: 1"
counter.inc() // "The count is now: 2"
~~~
### Parameters and returns
- Parameters use `(name, ...)` before the Block.
- Like Rust, the last expression is returned (no `return` keyword).
---
## Parameters and Returns
Pass data into Blocks using `(name, ...)` before the `{`. Like Rust, the last expression is implicitly returned. No `return` keyword needed.
~~~js
withParams: (str) {
_(str)
str // returned
}
add: (a, b) { a + b }
_( add(2, 3) ) // 5
greet: (name) {
"Hi, " + name // this string is returned
}
_( greet("Ada") ) // "Hi, Ada"
~~~
---
## Truthiness and Equality
Truthiness is value-based:
Truthiness is based on a value's "emptiness". The `==` operator is a strict equality check, like JavaScript's `===`.
~~~js
0 // falsy (the official false)
!0 // truthy (the official true)
4 // truthy
"" // falsy (truthy if non-empty)
{} // falsy (truthy if it has content)
[] // falsy (truthy if it has content)
-0 // falsy / null / undefined (represents “empty”)
// Falsy Values
0 // the official false
"" // empty string
{} // empty block
[] // empty array
-0 // represents null or undefined
// Truthy Values
!0 // the official true
4 // any non-zero number
"hi" // any non-empty string
~~~
Equality:
~~~js
== // equivalent to JS ===
~~~
## Conditionals (ternary-style Blocks)
A conditional is an expression that selects a Block.
---
## Conditionals
Hi uses ternary-style expressions that select which Block to execute.
~~~js
// if
(cond) ? { /* then */ }
(condition) ? { /* then */ }
// if / else
(cond) ? { /* then */ } : { /* else */ }
(condition) ? { /* then */ } : { /* else */ }
// expression result is the last Blocks last expression
tern: (cond) ? { "A" } : { "B" }
// The result is the last expression of the chosen block
message: (isMorning) ? { "Good morning" } : { "Hello" }
~~~
Multi-branch:
Multi-branch conditionals chain naturally.
~~~js
score: 85
grade: (score > 90) ? { "A" }
@@ -203,121 +168,112 @@ grade: (score > 90) ? { "A" }
_(grade) // "B"
~~~
---
## Arrays
Arrays are ordered lists, created with `[]`. Access and mutation use standard bracket notation.
~~~js
primes: [2, 3, 5, 7]
// Access
firstPrime: primes[0]
// Mutation
primes[0] = 1
_(primes) // [1, 3, 5, 7]
firstPrime: primes[0] // Access: 2
primes[0] = 1 // Mutation
_(primes) // [1, 3, 5, 7]
~~~
---
## Loops
`* { ... }` after a loop header runs the Block each iteration.
A loop header followed by `* { ... }` runs the Block for each iteration. Loop controls are symbolic: `>>` for continue, `^` for break.
~~~js
// for (init; test; step)
(i: 0; i < 5; i = i + 1) * {
_(i)
(i: 0; i < 3; i = i + 1) * {
_(i) // prints 0, 1, 2
}
// while
(!0) * {
// do something forever...
(true) * {
// ...
^ // break when done
}
// Controls
>> // continue
^ // break
~~~
## Bridging examples
Closures over private state:
---
## Advanced Example: Closures
Blocks can create closures, capturing their parent's private state to build powerful patterns like counters.
~~~js
makeCounter: {
#v: 0
{
{ // this inner block is returned
inc: { #v = #v + 1; #v }
value: { #v }
}
}
c: makeCounter()
c.inc() // 1
c.inc() // 2
c.value() // 2
c.inc() // returns 1
c.inc() // returns 2
_(c.value()) // prints 2
~~~
Tiny program with input and branching:
~~~js
welcome: (name) {
msg: (name && name != "") ? { "Hi, " + name + "!" } : { "Hi!" }
_(msg)
msg
}
welcome("Ada") // "Hi, Ada!"
welcome("") // "Hi!"
~~~
## Notes
- 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 still in active development. This page will grow with specs, a reference, and a playground. Contributions and feedback are welcome!
