मराठी वाक्यरचनेत प्रोग्रामिंग

MarathiCode is a Marathi-native, interpreted programming language developed by Sprout Tech. It explores programming through Marathi-native syntax and Devanagari identifiers while retaining conventional programming-language structures: variables, conditions, loops, functions and lists.

MarathiCode is a research prototype. Whether native-language programming produces measurable educational benefits remains a question for future empirical study.

Your first program

MarathiCode programs are plain text files with the .mr extension. छापा prints a value on its own line:

hello.mr

// पहिला मराठीकोड प्रोग्राम
छापा("नमस्कार, जग!")

Output (आउटपुट)

नमस्कार, जग!

A slightly bigger program

This program uses a variable, a function, a loop and a condition:

tour.mr

कार्य वर्ग(n) {
    परत n * n
}

साठी (i = 1; i <= 4; i = i + 1) {
    जर i % 2 == 0 तर {
        छापा(i + " चा वर्ग " + वर्ग(i))
    } नाहीतर {
        छापा(i + " विषम आहे")
    }
}

Output (आउटपुट)

1 विषम आहे
2 चा वर्ग 4
3 विषम आहे
4 चा वर्ग 16

What the language contains

17 Marathi keywords and Devanagari identifiers
Numbers (ASCII or Devanagari digits), strings, booleans and lists
जर / नाहीतर, पर्यंत and साठी loops, थांब and पुढे
Functions with parameters, return values and recursion
Block scope and error messages in Marathi
