STATUTORY: A Turing-complete language in 17th-century legal English

24 janvier 2026 à 20:06

I was thinking about how the English language allows for grammatically correct sentences containing the phrases "that that" and "had had" and "will will."

It looks like a y-combinator might have fallen out.

With the help of some LLMs and tree-sitter, I slapped together a programming language that reads like 17th century legal prose.

I hope you find this as silly and interesting as I did.
