Hi all, Kip's developer here! I was going to wait until we had finished the playground and landing page before posting about the project more, but here's the browser-based playground we have so far (thanks to Alperen Keles) for anyone who wants to play with the language: https://alpaylan.github.io/kip/
(The work on JavaScript transpilation just started today and currently doesn't work, but running the language should mostly work, though it probably has bugs, which I'd love to hear about in the repo's issues!)
That's pretty cool! From what I can tell, it does a morphological guess based on the suffix. If you didn't have the apostrophe, it'd have issues with ambiguity (say "aşı", does it mean vaccine or does it mean "aş" in accusative case?) but the apostrophe solves that problem too.
My solution for this problem in Kip was to go all the way with the morphological analysis use TRmorph (https://github.com/coltekin/TRmorph) for it, and then resolve the ambiguities in type checking / elaboration. (Therefore Kip almost never needs apostrophes.) Whether it was worth it, I don't know, but it was a fun problem to solve. :)
Clicking the link with a prejudice in my mind, I found the definitions cleverly clean and easy to understand. I would be pleased to see a German version of it, just to have a good laugh.
Haha I can read some casual Turkish and this made my day!
Funny how the case system of Turkish is both strong and standardized enough for this to work well. I don't know any other language where flexible argument order would work so well.
The Maryland one (that would be me, although I haven’t really done anything except the WASM bindings, this is really all Joomy’s work, kudos to him) is vacationing in Izmir right now, why would that even be important though?

Fantastic work, an area I’ve always wanted to explore.
Got especially excited, since I also experimented on a similar idea a few years ago:

Will check this out further in the following days. Thanks for sharing!

Not relevant to the language itself but to the grammar: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=73

A language an LLM can choke on!
Of course, missing

It would actually be a good fit for event handlers...

the developers don't even live in turkey. one is in maryland, the other in new york. and developing turkish programming language. ayy lmao

Both developers are Turkish
