{"id":25033,"library":"brocode-cli","title":"brocode-cli","description":"A toy compiler for the BroCode programming language that allows writing code using Hindi-style syntax. Version 2.0.6 is the current release; the project appears to be in active development with no clear release cadence. It differentiates itself by making programming accessible to Hindi speakers through familiar syntax (e.g., 'bro maanle' for variable declaration) and includes DOM manipulation and debug mode. The package primarily targets educational/fun use, not production systems.","status":"active","version":"2.0.6","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":null,"tags":["javascript","compiler","programming-language","brocode","fun-programming-language","hindi","language"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install brocode-cli","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add brocode-cli","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add brocode-cli","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"The CLI command is 'brocode', not 'brocode-cli'.
