Is Sanskrit The Best Natural Language For Computer Programming?

I believe you all wonder why CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions, a tech journal, started writing about the classical language, Sanskrit. There is a reason for it.

Recently, the Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, mentioned Sanskrit as the most computer-friendly language, and claimed the NASA scientists acknowledged it.

I researched her claims for CoreNetworkZ and found a journal published in 1985 by Rick Briggs.

Rick Briggs was associated with NASA's Ames Research Centre at that time. He authored 'Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence'.

In this work, he mentioned that the grammatical structure of Sanskrit is suitable for the development of Artificial Intelligence.

You can download Rick Briggs's 'Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence' by visiting this link.

I believe the reason behind this bold claim by the Delhi CM is this book.

Then I researched if there was any development in the Sanskrit-based programming language. Surprisingly, I found the OMLang project by Mayank Kumar. You can read more about it by visiting this link.

Today, I will fill this article with the reactions of software developers in India on this topic. Hannah Maria, a senior journalist at CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions, interviewed a few Software Developers for their opinion about whether Sanskrit is the most suitable natural language for computer programming.

Let us check what the real IT professionals have to say about it.

Hannah Maria first interviewed a senior software analyst, Harshini Ravi, from Bengaluru.

Hanna Maria asked, "Do you think Sanskrit is a better language for developing software applications?"

Harshini replied, " Well, Sanskrit is a classical language with a well-developed grammatical structure. But in coding, it matters less. Coding is a flow of logical statements, so we do not need more than a few dozen words. "

Harshini does not think Sanskrit has any extra advantage over using English words in a computer code.

The second IT professional Hannah interviewed was Satish Padmanaban.

Hannah asked, "Can you tell about your work to readers of CoreNetworkZ?"

Satish replied, "I am a full-stack developer with experience of five years."

Hannah asked Satish if he thought Sanskrit was a better language for developing computer applications, as claimed by the Delhi CM.

He replied, "It is a political statement without any academic or industrial interest. If Sanskrit is great in coding, why don't I see any apps developed in that language?"

The next IT professional Hannah interviewed was Praveen Kumaresan. He is originally from Chennai and works for an IT firm in Bengaluru.

Praveen said, "I develop websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. None of them needs natural language fluency."

"The complex grammar and vocabulary are good for literature, but not necessary in computer programming. Politicians must understand the difference between writing a poem and a program."
