🧬 ion implemented for you, is a flexible & unobtrusive, natural-language api, for expressing actions & information via ⚛︎ ion: invoked object notation. it's produced by michael 👨🏾💻 lee and is maintained by team✨ionify:
~ { log : '👋🏾👨🏾💻' } <= /do transcription/
+ { "json" : "data" } <= /json information/
& ["natural language"] <= /text information/⚛︎ ion + 🧬 ionify enable expressing actions & information that humans & software naturally ❦ understand. they enable:
-
creating domain-specific languages,
-
literate, modular, event-driven, meta & name-collision-free expression,
-
defining, acquiring, observing & interacting, with highly-decoupled software-defined actions & information
-
and, more ...
⚛️ ion + 🧬 ionify are enabled by & can be implemented in, languages that support operator ⚙️ overloading. three we've explored & confirmed capable, are {✨:javascript}, 🐍_python, & java.☕️.
for a detailed explanation of ion: invoked object notation, visit its 📚 documentation.
for applications of ion & ionify 🤲🏾 enjoy 🤲🏾 the following subsections:
creating a domain-specific language ... can be worthwhile if the language allows a particular type of problem or solution to be expressed more clearly than an existing language would allow - wikipedia
ionify enables creating language(s) via ions that define & map terms & phrases to actions:
