const hello=`
# Hello, world
Hi keeps the ceremony low and the intent high.
## Principles <i data-lucide="sparkles" class="icon"></i>
- Symbols over keywords (`: = ? * >> ^`).
- One construct — the <em>Block</em> — acts as both object and function.
- Last value wins: blocks return their final expression.
- AI-native: we prioritize how models read/write code, and we encourage code-golfable patterns.
- JavaScript-adjacent semantics where it helps, simplicity where it matters.
\`\`\`js
// Print text
---
## Hello, world
```js
// The underscore is print/output
_("Hi world")
\`\`\`
- \`_\` is the standard output primitive (think \`console.log\`).
- If you can read punctuation, you can read Hi.
- JS-inspired values and operators where it helps, symbols where it clarifies.
## Core symbols at a glance
- \`:\` declaration (bind a name)
- \`=\` assignment (update a value)
- \`{}\` Block: a container that is both an object and a function
- \`()\` call / parameters
- \`[]\` list / indexing
- \`#\` private property prefix
- \`==\` is equivalent to JS \`===\`
`
const blocks=`
# Blocks: object and function, simultaneously
A Block holds properties and executable code — it is always both.
### Function Block
\`\`\`js
sayHi: {
_("Hi")
}
sayHi() // → Hi
\`\`\`
### Object Block
\`\`\`js
player: {
name: "Orion" // public
#hp: 100 // private
}
_(player.name) // → Orion
\`\`\`
### Hybrid Block (state + methods)
\`\`\`js
counter: {
#value: 0
inc: {
value = value + 1
_("The count is now: " + value)
}
}
counter.inc() // → The count is now: 1
counter.inc() // → The count is now: 2
\`\`\`
### Parameters
The last expression in a Block is returned (like Rust).
\`\`\`js
withParams: (str) { _(str) }
withParams("Hello") // → Hello
\`\`\`
> Inside a Block, private names (\`#value\`) are accessible without the \`#\` prefix.
`
const flow=`
# Truthiness and flow
Hi favors clear, minimal rules for conditionals and loops.
### Truthiness
\`\`\`js
0 // falsy (the official false)
!0 // truthy (the official true)
4 // truthy
"" // falsy (truthy if full)
{} // falsy (truthy if full)
[] // falsy (truthy if full)
-0 // falsy / null / undefined
// == is equivalent to JS ===
\`\`\`
### Conditionals
Ternary-style Blocks return their last expression.
\`\`\`js
(cond) ? { /* if */ }
// if / else
(cond) ? { /* if */ } : { /* else */ }
// last value wins
tern: (cond) ? {"A"} : {"B"}
\`\`\`
Example:
\`\`\`js
score: 85
grade: (score > 90) ? { "A" }
: (score > 80) ? { "B" }
: { "C" }
_(grade) // → "B"
\`\`\`
### Loops
\`\`\`js
// for loop
(i: 0; i < 4; i = i + 1) * { _("i = " + i) }
// while loop
i: 0
(i < 3) * {
_("loop " + i)
i = i + 1
}
// control flow
(i: 0; i < 5; i = i + 1) * {
(i == 2) ? { >> } // continue
(i == 4) ? { ^ } // break
_("i → " + i)
}
\`\`\`
`
const collections=`
# Collections
Arrays, indexing, and mutation are familiar if you know JS.
\`\`\`js
primes: [2, 3, 5, 7]
// Access
first: primes[0] // 2
// Mutation
primes[0] = 1
_(primes) // [1, 3, 5, 7]
\`\`\`
### Strings
\`\`\`js
msg: "Hi" + " " + "there"
_(msg) // "Hi there"
\`\`\`
### Pattern to grow state safely
Use private \`#\` fields and expose minimal public surface.
\`\`\`js
bank: {
#bal: 0
deposit: (n) { bal = bal + n; bal }
read: { bal }
}
bank.deposit(10) // 10
bank.read() // 10
\`\`\`
`
const ending=`
# What we’re optimizing for
- Fewer keywords, more meaning — symbols carry weight across languages and cultures.
- Readable by sight: punctuation is shared knowledge.
- Practical where needed: when a symbol would confuse, we use a word.
> Trust, but verify. Hi aims to feel familiar on day one and powerful on day ten.
## Where we’re headed
- Tooling: formatter, linter, language server
- Interop: seamless bridges to JS runtimes
- Standard library: batteries for data, IO, and testing
If this resonates, star the repo and say Hi!
