Hey everyone.... If you think that Sanskrit is a difficult language then come to India, Mattur. In this village everyone talks in Sanskrit and they can teach you Sanskrit in just 20 days. If you don't believe..... Google it.

@Krishnan.. i would love to.. But you don't see the big picture here.. What ur saying is only possible if u dedicate.. like decades to it... Think of all the appliances and machines which are compatible with existing languages... To replace them in a short span.. Sorta next to impossible.. As I said.. if u just want to create one .. go ahead.. but I don't think of it as making a huge impact overall.. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-reason-behind-saying-that-Sanskrit-is-the-most-suitable-language-for-programming/answer/Vasu-Jain?share=33396d90&srid=u5UDc The link should answer your question .. See the difficulties mentioned in the end para..

@Ekansh...Well then you would know how it would turn out... N saying about adjusting to English.. We did it because its the prime language the world speaks.. I mean whats the use of creating a language when just a single community would use it..

Yes.. @Krishnan.. It is.. and i respect that language and I am proud of it.. But from a global perspective.. will people be able to adapt to a programming language which contains a whole new language... I don't think so.. They might just switch to something new or stick to the regular languages. So I don't see a point in making one..(Even if its possible :/)

We're talking about a worldwide community here... Will people be able to adjust themselves...

@Vaibhav.. We know about it . Natural language... But it would take a whole new transition for that to happen.. Which isn't possible now..

I'm with Frost. It's next to impossible. Sanskrit is not an easy language to learn. Coding requires simplicity which is why we use English.

I don't think it's a bad idea to want to try and develop programming languages based off any existing human language. Bringing machines closer to humans is the future. 🍪

no word is abusive if used in right way. good words can be felt as abusive if used in wrong way.
