AmitabhC

The Bollywood Programming Language

"Rishtey mein toh hum tumhare compiler lagte hain!"

LIGHTS
CAMERA
    BOLO "Namaste, Duniya!"
ACTION

AmitabhC is an esoteric programming language where every keyword is an Amitabh Bachchan film, character, or dialogue. Variables are VIJAY. Constants are DON. Errors are iconic dialogues. This isn't just a language — it's a statement.

Install

npm install -g amitabhc

Run

amitabhc run hello.amitabhc
amitabhc repl                    # Interactive mode
amitabhc examples                # List examples
amitabhc test                    # Run 76 tests

Or use the web playground — no install needed:

More Examples

Variables, Strings, Loops

LIGHTS
CAMERA
    VIJAY hero = "Amitabh"
    DON FILMS = 200

    BOLO "Star: ${hero}, Films: ${FILMS}"

    VIJAY top[] = {"Deewar", "Sholay", "Don", "Agneepath"}
    HAR EK film MEIN top
        BOLO "  ${film}"
    KHATAM
ACTION

Functions with Recursion

LIGHTS
CAMERA
    NAAM factorial(n)
        AGAR n <= 1
            WAPAS 1
        BAS
        WAPAS n * factorial(n - 1)
    PURA

    BOLO "10! = ${factorial(10)}"
ACTION

Error Handling

LIGHTS
CAMERA
    AGNEEPATH
        VIJAY x = 10 / 0
    MRITYU err
        BOLO "Caught: ${err}"
    PRATIGYA
        BOLO "Cleanup done"
    KHATAM
ACTION

Switch-Case (KBC Style)

LIGHTS
CAMERA
    VIJAY grade = "A"
    KBC_SAWAAL grade
        OPTION "A"
            BOLO "Excellent!"
        OPTION "B"
            BOLO "Good"
        SAHI_JAWAB
            BOLO "Keep trying"

Error Messages

When your code fails, AmitabhC delivers Amitabh dialogues:

Error	Dialogue
Undefined variable	"Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, naamumkin hai!"
Stack overflow	"Deewar bahut oonchi ho gayi!"
Division by zero	"Zero se divide kaise kar sakte hain?"
Constant reassignment	"Main aaj bhi phenke hue paise nahin uthata!"
Type mismatch	"Aaj mere paas type hai, tumhare paas kya hai?"
Array out of bounds	"Hum jahan khade hote hain, line wahi se shuru hoti hai!"
