🚀 Features

• Bengali-inspired Syntax: Write code using Bengali keywords and characters
• Unicode Support: Full support for Bengali characters
• Transpiled to JavaScript: Compiles to standard JavaScript for wide compatibility
• Cultural Representation: Brings programming closer to Bengali linguistic roots

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14.0.0 or higher)
• npm (Node Package Manager)

Install Globally

npm install -g bangla-lang

Local Installation

git clone https://github.com/atinr4/bangla-lang.git
cd bangla-lang
npm install
npm link

🖥️ Usage

Compile a Bangla Script

bangla input.bong output.js

📝 Language Syntax Examples

Variable Declaration

জ্ঞান নাম = "রাজ"
জ্ঞান বয়স = ২৫

Function Definition

ফাংশন যোগ(ক, খ) {
    ফেরত ক + খ
}

Class Declaration

শ্রেণি ব্যক্তি {
    নির্মাণ(নাম) {
        এই.নাম = নাম
    }

    পরিচয়() {
        মুদ্রণ("আমি " + এই.নাম)
    }
}

🌈 Keyword Translations

| Bengali Keyword | English Equivalent | Purpose | |----------------|-------------------|---------| | জ্ঞান | let | Variable Declaration | | ফাংশন | function | Function Definition | | শ্রেণি | class | Class Declaration | | যদি | if | Conditional Statement | | অন্যথা | else | Alternative Condition | | ফেরত | return | Return Statement | | মুদ্রণ | print | Output Function |

🛠️ Compiler Architecture

The Bangla compiler follows these stages:

1. Lexical Analysis: Tokenize Bengali source code
2. Parsing: Create Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
3. Transformation: Convert Bangla AST to JavaScript AST
4. Code Generation: Generate JavaScript code

Lexical Analysis

• Handles Bengali Unicode characters
• Recognizes Bengali-specific keywords
• Converts Bengali numerals to standard numbers

Parsing

• Creates an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
• Validates syntax according to Bangla language rules
• Prepares for transformation

Transformation

• Converts Bangla-specific AST to JavaScript-compatible AST
• Handles language-specific constructs
• Prepares for code generation

Code Generation

• Transforms AST into executable JavaScript
• Maintains original code structure
• Generates source maps for debugging

🔍 Advanced Features

Unicode Support

• Full support for Bengali characters in identifiers
• Unicode-aware lexical analysis
• Transliteration capabilities

Performance Optimization

• Efficient compilation process
• Minimal overhead in generated JavaScript
• Source map support for debugging

Error Handling

• Detailed error messages in Bengali and English
• Line and column tracking
• Helpful compilation hints
