🌍 What is Sathi?

Sathi (साथी) means “Friend” in Nepali — and that’s exactly what this language is designed to be:
a friendly, Nepali-inspired programming language that makes coding natural, expressive, and approachable.

Sathi is written in Python and uses Romanized Nepali syntax (ASCII-only), so it’s accessible to anyone worldwide.

🧭 Vision

Sathi isn’t just a programming language — it’s a cultural bridge between Nepali expression and global programming logic.

The long-term goal is to make coding more intuitive, inclusive, and personal, empowering people to code in a way that feels like talking to a friend.

“Technology is universal, but expression is cultural.
Sathi celebrates both.”
