Oh, this is Heaven!

As I represent a unique intersection of Christian, linguist/philologist, and computer geek, this was clearly designed to appeal to my precise demographic.

Now, I don't program anymore, but according to the FAQ, that does not disqualify me from enjoying this project!

> the Bible explicitly forbids object worship

Strange, even sinful, to write this interpreter in Java then.

Strange to take the effort regarding paleo-Hebrew, but not use it with Yahweh's (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄) name in the title. Guess a Cohen will fork it.

I would have thought Forth would be a better fit for such a language.

When you actually read the keywords things like "function" are taken from Modern Hebrew "funktzia" - so an ancient Hebrew wouldn't understand it

But I doubt you could even think about a programming language for ancient Hebrews

For those who are commenting about TempleOS... I think this project has too much self-awareness to cause a real schism

From FAQ: > Why not use Modern Hebrew?

> If you are able to program in this language, I have failed.

> Why are you running an interpreted language over an interpreted language?

Gematria number system is a comparatively modern invention. Researching the old weights, measures, and coins of Israel show good evidence that the Egyptian number system was used, which is a somewhat decimal numbering system. Would be very cool if this language used the ancient Egyptian number system instead of this new-fangled gematria stuff. Then the numbers would be visually very distinct as well.

I would try it, but I'm afraid someone would point out that I'm mistakenly coding in Paleo-Klingon...

Looks really cool, but if God wrote all of us in Java then that explains a lot more than the bible does...

There are errors throughout the documentation.

E.g. 5782 = 𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤒𐤐״𐤁

when clearly it should be 𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤕𐤒𐤐״𐤁

That's the phoenician alphabet, paleo hebrew does not have a unicode block yet

excuse me but have you considered the value of a really good nam-shub? the compilation step is a bit of a doozy, but the payoff is really something!

Back to atheism for me.

Ok, waiting for cuneiform now

What about HolyC? Actually How is HolyC in the eyes of language engineers?

Shouldn't this be named 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤈 ?

Jesus' programming language？

I incanted: “ROS-AILE-KAPHILUTON-MIRAKOI-KALANIEMI-TSHANA-KAI-KAI-EPHSANDER-GALISDO-TAHUN…” and just as I finished, my timer reached zero and told me I was finished, for today, free until tomorrow morning crashed down on me and I started the same thing all over again.

“Meh,” I said. “Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh.”

Terry A. Davis vibes?

God's language is HolyC.

You can embed a realistic elephant in HolyC.

You can also write chess software to play against god.

Where's TempleOS when you need him? looks up into the sky
