What is kemlang-py?

kemlang-py is a programming language that uses Gujarati keywords. Instead of writing print("hello"), you write bhai bol "hello". Instead of if, you write jo. Every keyword has a clear Gujarati meaning.

It's designed to make programming accessible to Gujarati speakers, and to show that a programming language can feel natural in any language.

Quick example

Here's a complete kemlang-py program that creates a variable and prints a greeting:

jsk
kem bhai
  aa naam che "kemlang-py"
  bhai bol "Namaste, " + naam + "!"
aavjo bhai
output
Namaste, kemlang-py!
  • ›kem bhai - opens the program ("hello, brother")
  • ›aa naam che "kemlang-py" - declares a variable (aa = this, che = is)
  • ›bhai bol ... - prints to stdout (bhai = brother, bol = say)
  • ›aavjo bhai - closes the program ("goodbye, brother")

Get started in 3 steps

1

Install kemlang-py

Pick npm or pip - both give you the same kem command globally.

npm install -g kemlang-py
2

Create a .jsk file

Every kemlang-py program opens with kem bhai and closes with aavjo bhai.

kem bhai
  bhai bol "kem cho, duniya!"
aavjo bhai
3

Run it

Pass your file to kem run and see the output.

kem run hello.jsk
