oduduwalang 0.1.0

A Yoruba-first programming language

OduduwaLang

OduduwaLang is a serious, open-source, Yoruba-first programming language. It is designed to allow developers to build real-world, production-capable software using the rich grammar and vocabulary of the Yoruba language.

🌟 Vision

Programming should be accessible in one's native tongue without sacrificing technical depth or power. OduduwaLang provides a culturally rooted yet technically sophisticated alternative for the global Yoruba-speaking community.

🛠 How it works

OduduwaLang builds on the Python ecosystem. It features:

• Yoruba Syntax: Keywords like ise, ti, fún, and tẹjáde.
• Diacritic-Awareness: Tone marks are optional in execution but preserved for documentation.
• Python Transpilation: Runs anywhere Python runs.
• Yoruba Error Reporting: Understand bugs in your own language.

🚀 Roadmap

• Phase 1: Core Grammar & Basic Transpiler (Variables, Functions, If-statements).
• Phase 2: Advanced Logic (Loops, Data Structures) & Standard Library.
• Phase 3: Localized Developer Experience (CLI, REPL, Yoruba Stack Traces).
• Phase 4: Community Ecosystem (VS Code Extension, Full Documentation).
