Overview

Sui (粋) is a programming language named after the Japanese aesthetic concept meaning "refined" and "elimination of excess." It is designed so that LLMs can generate 100% accurate code - not through hope, but through structural guarantees.

Why Sui?

Current LLM code generation problems:

• Bracket mismatches if (x { }
• Variable typos coutn vs count
• Indentation errors
• Complex nested expressions

Sui makes these errors structurally impossible:

Problem	Sui's Solution
Bracket mismatch	Only {} for functions, no nesting
Variable typos	Sequential numbers only (v0, v1, g0) - can't misspell
Indentation errors	Line-based, indentation is ignored
Complex nesting	One instruction per line, decompose to temps

Design Principles

1. Zero Syntax Error Rate - Structurally impossible to make syntax errors
2. Zero Typo Rate - Variables are numbers, not names
3. Line Independence - Each line is completely self-contained
4. Pure Logic Language - Computation only; UI delegated to any framework
5. Future-Proof Efficiency - As LLMs learn Sui, token efficiency will surpass traditional languages

Installation

# PyPI (basic)
pip install sui-lang

# PyPI with WebAssembly support
pip install sui-lang[wasm]

# Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew tap TakatoHonda/sui
brew install sui-lang

# From source
git clone https://github.com/TakatoHonda/sui-lang.git
cd sui-lang

Quick Start

Interactive Mode (REPL)

# Start REPL
sui

# Example session
>>> = v0 10
>>> + v1 v0 5
>>> . v1
>>>
15
>>> .exit

Commands: .exit / .quit (exit), .reset (reset state)

Interpreter

# Run file
sui examples/fibonacci.sui

# Run with arguments
sui examples/fib_args.sui 15

# Validate
sui --validate examples/fibonacci.sui

# Show help
sui --help

Transpiler (Sui → Python)

# Show converted code
sui2py examples/fibonacci.sui

# Output to file
sui2py examples/fibonacci.sui -o fib.py

# Convert and execute
sui2py examples/fib_args.sui --run 15

Transpiler (Python → Sui) for humans

WebAssembly

# Compile to WebAssembly binary (requires: brew install wabt)
sui2wasm examples/fibonacci.sui -o fib.wasm

# Execute directly via WebAssembly (requires: pip install sui-lang[wasm])
suiwasm examples/fibonacci.sui

Browser UI

Sui is a pure logic language. UI can be implemented with any framework (React, Vue, Hono.js, vanilla JS, etc).

Sui compiles to Wasm with exports:

• main() - Initialization
• f0(), f1(), ... - Functions (callable from JS)
• g0, g1, ... - Global variables (read/write via .value)

// Any framework works
const wasm = await WebAssembly.instantiate(wasmBytes, { env: { print_i32: console.log }});
button.onclick = () => { wasm.exports.f0(); display.textContent = wasm.exports.g0.value; };

Running without Installation (from source)

# Using python directly
python sui.py examples/fibonacci.sui
python sui2py.py examples/fibonacci.sui
python py2sui.py your_code.py

LLM Integration

Sui is designed for LLM code generation. Use the prompts in prompts/ directory:

1. Copy the system prompt from prompts/system_prompt_en.md
2. Paste it into ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / etc.
3. Ask to generate Sui code for your task
4. Run with sui your_code.sui

See prompts/examples.md for prompt templates and expected outputs.

Name Origin

Sui (粋) - A Japanese word meaning "refined," "sophisticated," or "the essence." It represents the aesthetic of eliminating excess and keeping only what is essential.

Token Efficiency: Now vs Future

Current state (LLMs don't know Sui yet):

Language	Fibonacci	Counter
Sui	79 tokens	44 tokens
Python	30 tokens	30 tokens

Future state (after LLMs learn Sui):

• v0, g0 → 1 token each (currently 2)
• Patterns like + g0 g0 1 → compressed
• Estimated: 40-50% reduction

But token count isn't the point. The real value:

• 0% syntax error rate (vs ~5-10% for Python/JS)
• 0% typo rate (variables can't be misspelled)
• 100% parseable output (every line is valid or clearly invalid)

vs Other Languages

vs Python/JavaScript

Aspect	Python/JS	Sui
Syntax errors	Common	Impossible
Variable typos	Common	Impossible
Bracket matching	Error-prone	Trivial
Token efficiency (now)	Better	Worse
Token efficiency (future)	Same	Better

vs Assembly

Aspect	Assembly	Sui
Instructions	Hundreds	~20
Registers	8-32	Unlimited
Learning curve	Steep	Minimal

Roadmap

• Interpreter (Python)
• Transpiler (Sui → Python)
• Transpiler (Python → Sui, for humans)
• Interactive mode (REPL)
• WebAssembly output (WAT + runtime)
• Mathematical primitives (linear algebra, statistics) (#8)
• Package manager (hash-based IDs) (#9)
• Type annotations (optional)
• LLVM IR output

Future: Mathematical Extensions

Sui will extend with numeric-ID based primitives (no identifiers):

; Matrix operations (proposed)
M 0 v2 v0 v1   ; v2 = matmul(v0, v1)
M 1 v2 v0 v1   ; v2 = matadd(v0, v1)
M 2 v2 v0 0    ; v2 = transpose(v0)

; Statistics (proposed)
S 0 v1 v0      ; v1 = mean(v0)
S 1 v1 v0      ; v1 = std(v0)

Design principles maintained:

• No identifiers (numeric IDs only)
• One instruction per line
• Zero typo possibility
