A modern programming language that uses Sanskrit vocabulary and grammar, combining the ancient wisdom of Sanskrit with modern computing concepts. Write code in देवनागरी (Devanagari) script with the simplicity of JavaScript.

Read about how and why I created this Sanskrit-based programming language.

• Sanskrit-Based Syntax: Write code using Sanskrit words and grammar
• Devanagari Support: Native support for Devanagari script and numerals
• Cultural Integration: Programming concepts expressed through Sanskrit terminology
• JavaScript-Based: Easy to install and run with Node.js
• Interpreter: Fast development with immediate feedback
• Simple Installation: No complex dependencies required
• Cross-Platform: Runs anywhere Node.js is available

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (v6 or higher)

For latest development version

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sh20raj/sanskrit/main/install.sh | bash

or

npm install -g sanskrit-lang

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/sh20raj/sanskrit.git
   cd sanskrit

2. Install Dependencies

   npm install

3. Link for Development

   npm link

Create a file main.sns with the following content:

// नमस्ते विश्व
कार्य नमस्ते() {
    मुद्रण("नमस्ते विश्व!");
}

नमस्ते();

Run it:

sanskrit run main.sns

कार्य योग(क, ख) {
    मुद्रण(क + ख);
}

योग(१०, २०);  // Outputs: ३०

कार्य वाक्य() {
    मुद्रण("संस्कृत" + " " + "भाषा");  // Outputs: संस्कृत भाषा
}

वाक्य();

1. Run a Sanskrit File

   sanskrit run program.sns

2. Start REPL (Coming Soon)

   sanskrit repl
