With the language specification nearly finished, it’s time to put together a very basic prototype of what the actual interface for programming in Poki Nanpa is going to look like so that I can start writing the interpreter in an … Continue reading →

As I begin to think about how the graphical output of Poki Nanpa will integrate with its written code, it’s important to consider that there will not be a console to print errors and debugging information to. The graphical output … Continue reading →

Unsurprisingly, the most important part of a functional language is defining and calling functions. The first way of calling functions in Poki Nanpa came about as a natural result of considering how numbers are written in Toki Pona. First, a … Continue reading →

I am not the first person to come up with the idea of a toki pona programming language. Part of my literature review is focused on looking at other implementations of this idea. Here’s a rundown of a few that … Continue reading →

We’ve been refining our project ideas using the MoSCoW method; establishing their scope and feasibility by examining what they Must have, what they Should have, what they Could have, and what they Won’t have. Here’s what I’ve got so far: … Continue reading →
