A proof-of-concept parser demonstrating that programming languages can be built entirely from mathematical notation, enabling cognitive universality in computing. MPL replaces English keywords with mathematical symbols, making programming accessible to the 80% of humanity who don't speak English. Every design decision follows the Fatima Test: "Will this make sense to a 10-year-old who doesn't speak English?" Current implementation: - Complete ANTLR 4 grammar with 70+ mathematical operators - Parser supporting all major programming paradigms - Zero grammar ambiguities - ASCII escape sequences for every Unicode symbol This release contains: - Core parser implementation - Grammar specification - Example programs - Comprehensive documentation - Whitepaper outlining the vision Note: This is a parser-only proof of concept. Programs can be parsed but not executed. The interpreter and runtime are future work.

Mathematical Programming Language (MPL) is a programming
|
|
language that achieves cognitive universality through
|
|
mathematical notation. By replacing English keywords with
|
|
mathematical symbols, MPL enables any child, regardless
|
|
of native language, to learn programming through the
|
|
universal language of mathematics. MPL supports
|
|
functional, imperative, concurrent, and object-oriented
|
|
paradigms while maintaining zero language barriers.
