Genesis: an interpreted, Turing-complete Paleo-Hebrew programming language

Oh, this is Heaven!<p>As I represent a unique intersection of Christian, linguist&#x2F;philologist, and computer geek, this was clearly designed to appeal to my precise demographic.<p>Now, I don&#x27;t program anymore, but according to the FAQ, that does not disqualify me from enjoying this project!

&gt; the Bible explicitly forbids object worship<p>Strange, even sinful, to write this interpreter in Java then.

Strange to take the effort regarding paleo-Hebrew, but not use it with Yahweh&#x27;s (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄) name in the title. Guess a Cohen will fork it.

I would have thought Forth would be a better fit for such a language.

When you actually read the keywords things like &quot;function&quot; are taken from Modern Hebrew &quot;funktzia&quot; - so an ancient Hebrew wouldn&#x27;t understand it<p>But I doubt you could even think about a programming language for ancient Hebrews

For those who are commenting about TempleOS... I think this project has too much self-awareness to cause a real schism<p>From FAQ: &gt; Why not use Modern Hebrew?<p>&gt; If you are able to program in this language, I have failed.<p>&gt; Why are you running an interpreted language over an interpreted language?<p>&gt; &quot;Wherefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned&quot; 4

Gematria number system is a comparatively modern invention. Researching the old weights, measures, and coins of Israel show good evidence that the Egyptian number system was used, which is a somewhat decimal numbering system. Would be very cool if this language used the ancient Egyptian number system instead of this new-fangled gematria stuff. Then the numbers would be visually very distinct as well.

I would try it, but I&#x27;m afraid someone would point out that I&#x27;m mistakenly coding in Paleo-Klingon...

Looks really cool, but if God wrote all of us in Java then that explains a lot more than the bible does...

There are errors throughout the documentation.<p>E.g. 5782 = 𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤒𐤐״𐤁<p>when clearly it should be 𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤒𐤐״𐤁

That&#x27;s the phoenician alphabet, paleo hebrew does not have a unicode block yet

excuse me but have you considered the value of a really good nam-shub? the compilation step is a bit of a doozy, but the payoff is really something!

&gt; <i>fixed-length array</i><p>Back to atheism for me.

Ok, waiting for cuneiform now

What about HolyC? Actually How is HolyC in the eyes of language engineers?

Shouldn&#x27;t this be named 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤈 ?

Jesus&#x27; programming language？

<i>I incanted: “ROS-AILE-KAPHILUTON-MIRAKOI-KALANIEMI-TSHANA-KAI-KAI-EPHSANDER-GALISDO-TAHUN…” and just as I finished, my timer reached zero and told me I was finished, for today, free until tomorrow morning crashed down on me and I started the same thing all over again.<p>“Meh,” I said. “Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh.”</i>

Terry A. Davis vibes?

God&#x27;s language is HolyC.<p>You can embed a realistic elephant in HolyC.<p>You can also write chess software to play against god.

&gt; If you are able to program in this language, I have failed.

Where&#x27;s TempleOS when you need him? <i>looks up into the sky</i>
