I Built a Programming Language That Speaks 8 Human Languages Artikel: ## The Problem 4. 5 billion people don't speak English fluently. Yet every mainstream programming language — Python, JavaScript, Java — forces you to learn English keywords before writing your first line of code. For a 12-year-old in São Paulo, Mumbai, or Beijing, `if` , `while` , and `function` are foreign words. They have to learn a new human language before they can learn computational thinking. ## The Solution: Zuse Zuse is a programming language where **you code in your native language** . The same program in 4 languages: **German:** WENN alter >= 18 DANN AUSGABE "Willkommen!" ENDE WENN **English:** IF age >= 18 THEN PRINT "Welcome!" END IF **Hindi:** अगर उम्र >= 18 तो दिखाओ "स्वागत है!" अंत अगर **Chinese:** 如果 年龄 >= 18 则 输出 "欢迎!" 结束 如果 All four compile to **the exact same AST**.
