rovell

Aren't you fatigat from writing Rust programs in English? Do you like saying "collons" a lot? Would you like to try something different, in an exotic and funny-sounding language? Would you want to bring some Catalan touch to your programs?

rovell (Catalan for Rust) is here to save your day, as it allows you to write Rust programs in Catalan, using Catalan keywords, Catalan function names, Catalan idioms.

This has been designed to be used as the official programming language to develop the future Catalan sovereign operating system.

You're from Barcelona and don't feel at ease using only Catalan words? Don't worry! Catalan Rust is fully compatible with English-Rust, so you can mix both at your convenience.

Usage

Here's an example of what can be achieved with Rovell:

rovell::rovell! {
    funció principal() {
        deixa mutable x = 31;

        iguala x {
            42 => {
                collons!("mare de déu")
            }
            _ => escriulínia!("Com estàs!")
        }

        per i en 0..10 {
          escriulínia!(i)
        }

        merda!("f")
    }
}

If the French can do it, so can we
If the Spanish can do it, so can we
