Pankti Programming Language, A Practical Bengali Programming Language

The Pankti Programming Language

Introduction

Pankti is a dynamically typed programming language for programming in Bengali, English, Bengali phonetic as well as Combination of both. Pankti is an easy to learn programming language but it was also powerful language to create useful and fast programs.

Why

My mother tongue is Bengali. Previously there have been few attempts to build a Bengali programming language but most of them have no practical usage, so I ventured into the dark world of language design.
