mluvit

MluvIt is a hypothetical open-source scripting language and runtime designed for multilingual user interfaces and real-time collaboration in software applications. It emphasizes a small footprint, easy embedding, and interoperability with host languages, enabling localized logic and workflow automation.

The language uses a C-style syntax with optional static typing and dynamic features. It supports first-class functions, asynchronous I/O, and lightweight coroutines. The core library focuses on internationalization, Unicode handling, and locale-aware formatting to adapt to multiple languages.

MluvIt runs on a compact virtual machine that executes bytecode and offers optional JIT compilation for hot paths. It provides a foreign-function interface for calling into C, C++, Rust, or host environments, and a small standard library for I/O, networking, and data processing.

Tooling includes a module system and a minimal package manager. MluvIt is designed to be embedded in other applications, with bindings for C, Python, and Rust, and support for cross-platform deployment.

Common use cases include scripting UI plugins, automation tasks in multilingual apps, and rapid prototyping of features. Example: function greet(name, loc) { var msg = translate('Hello', loc); print(msg + ' ' + name); }

History and community: The concept originated with the fictional Multilingual Computing Initiative in the late 2010s and has circulated in academic and hobbyist circles. Real-world adoption remains limited, with a small but active community contributing libraries.
