Gara is a programming language I designed and implemented. It is a programming language specifically designed to make it easier for Indonesian children to learn coding.
Decidedly, Gara is an interpreted, procedural, functional, and object-oriented language all at the same time. Compromises are made in order to “pacify” those differing paradigms, yet still acknowledging their most fundamental features.
As for now, the Gara programming language is still experimental. Although, it is rather well-documented, has an online IDE that you can try on the browser, and obviously, has specs.
Gara is on a release cycle every year on August 17th.
Garites spread across the Indonesian archipelago
During the early phases of development, Gara was codenamed Project Kartini, in honor of R. A. Kartini who had advocated for the advancement in the rights of indigenous Indonesians, especially that of women’s, to a quality, impactful education at a time schools would normally admit mostly children of European decent, and a handful of males, privileged natives. I and many other Indonesians will continue to pay our gratitude in remembrance of her benevolent soul. Her high curiosity will continue to inspire many of us.
