Introduction

Hey there! 👋

First of all, thanks for checking out AIM. I have started thinking about Prompt-driven Programming while ago and after a few weeks of drafting a solution, I'm finally ready to share it with you.

Here are the things that you should know about AIM:

  • AIM is a (natural) programming language written in Markdown with a few extensions. Knowing Markdown is a plus, but not required.
  • AIM aims to be a simple and flexible way to express your solutions to problems, using natural language.
  • AIM is not perfect and it is the result of my thought process around the relatively new concept of Prompt-driven Programming.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can keep scrolling down.

First of all, the famous Hello, World! example in AIM looks like this:

hello-world.aim
Hello, World!

Of course, this is not your common programming language, but it is the most natural way to express solutions to problems.

Let's take a look at an interactive example. Note that in this example, we're using different programming languages (Python and JavaScript) to print similar messages. You can click the "Run" button to see the output.

dreamer.aim
You may say I'm a dreamer ```python print("But I'm not the only one") ``` ```js console.log("I hope you'll join us") ``` And the world will live as one.

This demonstrates how AIM can seamlessly integrate multiple languages in a single document, while maintaining readability and flow. The code blocks are embedded naturally within the markdown text, making it easy to combine narrative and executable code.
