Hi — a corely symbolic language

Inspired by JavaScript. Designed to read the same in every culture.

Hi keeps the core of the language mostly symbols and uses words only when words are truly clearer. Fewer keywords, fewer fences to learning, more global legibility.

  • Declaration: :
  • Assignment: =
  • Private: # prefix
  • Blocks: {} is always both an object and a callable block
  • Print: _()

Below, code uses JavaScript highlighting while Hi’s highlighter is being finalized.

Blocks that think and hold state
Conditions, truthiness, and clarity
