Wenyan-lang: Classical Chinese Programming Language
The syntax is slightly cumbersome. For example, the function header of the mandelbrot snippet at <a href="https://wenyan-snippets.netlify.com/" rel="nofollow">https://wenyan-snippets.netlify.com/</a> reads:<p>吾有一術。名之曰「曼德博」。欲行是術。必先得二數。曰「寬」。曰「高」。乃行是術曰。<p>Decomposed:<p>吾有一術。I have a function.<p>名之曰「曼德博」。 Named "mandelbrot".<p>欲行是術。必先得 Who wants to run this function, must first get<p>二數。two numbers.<p>曰「寬」。Called "width".<p>曰「高」。Called "height"<p>乃行是術曰。 Then run this function as follows:<p>Essentially, what gets expressed using punctuation in mainstream programming languages is instead described by a short sentence. This would be terribly verbose in English, but it's kind of bearable in Classical Chinese, because each word is only a single character.
