ХУЯ – A Russian Programming Language

Compiler is written in Rust: https://github.com/tsoding/good_training_language/blob/main/...

- grishka 1 year agoThe name made me laugh.
The compiler command, "хуяк", is a dick-derived obscene word denoting some intense, quick event.

- flohofwoe 1 year agoFor the compiler implementation in Rust, I wonder how practical it is to switch between Latin for the Rust keywords, and Cyrillic for everything else. Do Russian keyboards make that simple (e.g. a modifier key like Ctrl or Alt), or does it involve switching the whole keyboard layout (like for instance switching between German and US layout).
When I spent some time at a Chinese company, at least it was common there to write only the comments and documentation in Chinese, but not the actual program logic (e.g. types, variables, functions etc... were named in English, which made it surprisingly easy for non-Chinese speakers to work on that codebase).
- thriftwy 1 year agoWhy this hack when there's this widely used 1С language with its syntax and identifiers natively in Russian.
