WokeLang Playground

Playground for WokeLang - Human-Centric Programming Language

Overview

WokeLang is designed to be human-centric, prioritizing readability, accessibility, and inclusive design in programming.

Key Features

• Natural Syntax: Read like natural language

• Accessibility: Screen reader friendly output

• Inclusive Naming: Guidelines for inclusive code

• Error Messages: Helpful, non-judgmental errors

Language Design

Natural Language Syntax

-- Reads naturally
define greeting as "Hello, World!"
display greeting

-- Conditional logic
if user is authenticated then
    show welcome_message
otherwise
    redirect to login_page

Accessible Code

-- Accessible output annotations
@accessible
@aria_label("User profile section")
component UserProfile:
    display user.name as heading level 1
    display user.bio as paragraph

Inclusive Guidelines

-- Built-in inclusive naming suggestions
-- The compiler suggests alternatives:
-- "master/slave" -> "primary/replica"
-- "whitelist/blacklist" -> "allowlist/blocklist"
-- "dummy" -> "placeholder"

configuration:
    primary_server: "main.example.com"
    replica_servers: ["backup1.example.com"]
    allowlist: ["trusted.example.com"]

Helpful Errors

-- Instead of: "Error: undefined variable 'nam'"
-- WokeLang says:
-- "It looks like 'nam' hasn't been defined yet.
--  Did you mean 'name'? (defined on line 5)
--  Here's how to define a new variable:
--    define nam as your_value"

guix install wokelang
