Clarice is a general-purpose natural-language functional/declarative programming language built for simplicity, conciseness and clarity, using programming statements that flow like English sentences rather than feeling like programming in something traditional like C or Python.
Clarice aims to minimise symbols and promote use of natural English words, similarly to Python, but with an even greater emphasis on prose-like code.
Clarice is incredibly weakly typed and does not support any form of type annotations, but the Clarice interpreter ensures type safety and garbage collection.

Clarice is not ready for production use and is not on crates.io yet.
To use Clarice despite its early development stages, feel free to clone the
repository (git clone https://github.com/aeriavelocity/clarice.git). and run
the Clarice interactive mode with cargo run.
Clarice is still very much in early development and is not ready for anything serious.
If you wish to collaborate with me on Clarice's development, please feel free to send pull requests.
When it's ready, the Clarice programming language will only include the Clarice interpreter and the Clarice interactive mode.
Eventually, I plan to write an LSP server for Clarice and a Clarice-to-Python transpiler.
