The first Swahili programming language
Write code in the language you think in.
Nuru is a programming language written in Swahili. You no longer translate an idea into English before you can write it down: you type kama, wakati and andika, words you already know.
From kindergarten to bibi's house.
- Free
- Nothing to install
- Works on phones
- Even offline
fanya marafiki = ["Amani", "Neema", "Baraka"]
kwa jina ktk marafiki {
andika("Mambo, " + jina + "!")
}Output
What you can do
Three things to try today
Write in Swahili
Variables, decisions, loops and functions in words you know. Even the error messages speak Swahili.
fanya umri = 15
kama (umri >= 13) {
andika("Karibu Nuru!")
}› Karibu Nuru!
