ጃኖ ፊደል (Jano Fidel)

A Native Amharic Programming Language built on Node.js.

ጃኖ ፊደል (Jano Fidel) is a high-level programming language that allows developers to write full-scale applications using the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script. It transpiles directly to JavaScript, giving you the power of the Node.js ecosystem with a completely native writing experience.

✨ ዋና ዋና ባህሪያት (Features)

• Native Keywords: Use ይሁን (let), ተግባር (function), and ከሆነ (if) instead of English equivalents.
• Ethiopic Numerals: Full support for Ge'ez numbers (፩, ፪, ፲፪...) with a built-in conversion engine.
• Amharic Built-ins: Native aliases for common objects like ሒሳብ (Math), ቀን (Date), and ያትም (console.log).
• Asynchronous Support: Full ጊዜጠባቂ (async) and ጠብቅ (await) support for modern development.
• CLI Tool: Run your code globally with the jano command.

🚀 አጀማመር (Quick Start)

1. Installation

For users

npm install -g janofidel@latest

For developers

Clone the repository and link it to your global path:

cd JanoFidel
npm install
sudo npm link

2. Writing your first Jano file (ሰላምታ.jf)

ተግባር ሰላምታ_ስጥ(ስም) {
    መልስ "ሰላም " + ስም + " እንኳን ወደ ጃኖ ፊደል መጣህ!"፤
}

ያትም(ሰላምታ_ስጥ("ዮናስ"))፤

// Math with Ge'ez numbers
ይሁን ውጤት = ፲፪ + ፰፤
ያትም("፲፪ + ፰ = " + ውጤት)፤

3. Running the code

jano ሰላምታ.jf

🛠️ የቴክኒክ መዋቅር (Architecture)

1. Lexer: Scans .jf files for Ethiopic characters and tokens.
2. Number Engine: Converts additive Ethiopic numerals () into Arabic numerals for JavaScript.
3. Prelude: A standard library injected at runtime to provide prototype aliases (e.g., adding .ርዝመት to Arrays).
4. Transpiler: Maps the tokens to valid JavaScript and executes via the Node.js VM.
