BinisayaLang is a programming language that brings a unique, culturally enriched approach to software development. Designed as a successor to the former Bisayalang, it is rooted in the Bisaya language, making programming intuitive and accessible for native speakers while retaining powerful technical capabilities.
At its core, BinisayaLang compiles to bytecode, which is executed by a robust in-house virtual machine (VM). This architecture ensures efficient execution and allows for extensibility and portability across systems.
Key Features:
Bisaya-Based Syntax:
Write code in Bisaya, making programming more relatable and culturally immersive for developers familiar with the language.
Rust Integration:
Seamlessly compile custom Rust libraries into the VM's system.
Call Rust functions directly from your BinisayaLang code, leveraging Rust's performance and safety alongside the expressiveness of BinisayaLang.
Customizable Virtual Machine:
The in-house VM provides a controlled environment for bytecode execution, designed with adaptability in mind.
Developers can extend or optimize the VM to suit specific application needs.
Modern Compilation Workflow:
Compile your code into efficient bytecode that prioritizes execution speed and resource efficiency.
Who Is It For?
BinisayaLang is ideal for:
Developers looking to bridge regional language and modern technology.
Educators and students in the Bisaya-speaking community.
Enthusiasts exploring VM design, language development, or Rust-based system integration.
Use Cases:
Building educational tools for teaching programming in local languages.
Rapid prototyping with localized syntax.
Experimenting with hybrid language systems by combining BinisayaLang with Rust's power.
Vision:
BinisayaLang is more than just a programming language; it is a cultural and technical innovation aimed at making programming more inclusive while embracing cutting-edge technology like Rust integration.
