rösti

Do you have kei Luscht meh to write Rust programs in English? Do you like saying "gopferdammi!" a lot? Would you like to try something different, in an exotic and funny-sounding language? Would you want to bring some Swiss touch to your programs?

Rösti is here to save your day, as it allows you to write Rust programs in Swiss German, using Swiss German keywords, Swiss German function names, Swiss German idioms.

You don't feel at ease using only Swiss German words? Don't worry! Swiss German Rust is fully compatible with English-Rust, so you can mix both at your convenience.

Here's an example of what can be achieved with Rösti:

roesti::roesti! {
    benutze std::sammlige::Wörterbuech als Wöbu;

    eigedschaft SchlüsselWärt {
        funktion schriib(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichäkette, wärt: Zeichäkette);
        funktion läs(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichäkette) -> Resultat<Mängisch<&Zeichäkette>, Zeichäkette>;
    }

    statisch änd WÖRTERBUECH: Mängisch<Wöbu<Zeichäkette, Zeichäkette>> = Nüüt;

    struktur Konkret;

    impl SchlüsselWärt für Konkret {

        funktion schriib(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichäkette, wärt: Zeichäkette) {
            sei wöbu = gföhrlich {
                WÖRTERBUECH.hol_oder_füeg_ii_mit(Standard::standard)
            };
            wöbu.iifüge(schlsl, wärt);
        }

        funktion läs(&selbst, schlsl: Zeichäkette) -> Resultat<Mängisch<&Zeichäkette>, Zeichäkette> {
            wenn sei Öpis(wöbu) = gföhrlich { WÖRTERBUECH.als_ref() } {
                Gäbig(wöbu.hol(&schlsl))
            } suscht {
                gopferdammi!("Reto, mir bruuched's WÖRTERBUECH")
            }
        }
    }
}
