Lakshmi Thathachar's view of Sanskrit's nature may be paraphrased as
follows: All modern languages have etymological roots in classical
languages. And some say all Indo-European languages are rooted in
Sanskrit, but let us not get lost in that debate. Words in Sanskrit
are instances of pre-defined classes, a concept that drives object
oriented programming [OOP] today. For example, in English 'cow' is a
just a sound assigned to mean a particular animal. But if you drill
down the word 'gau' --Sanskrit for 'cow'-- you will arrive at a broad
class 'gam' which means 'to move. From these derive 'gamanam', 'gatih'
etc which are variations of 'movement'. All words have this OOP
approach, except that defined classes in Sanskrit are so exhaustive
that they cover the material and abstract --indeed cosmic--
experiences known to man. So in Sanskrit the connection is more than
etymological.

>It was Panini who formalised Sanskrit's grammer and usage about 2500 years ago. No new 'classes' have needed to be added to it since then. "Panini should be thought of as the forerunner of the modern formal language theory used to specify computer languages," say J J O'Connor and E F Robertson. Their article also quotes: "Sanskrit's potential for scientific use was greatly enhanced as a result of the thorough systemisation of its grammar by Panini. ... On the basis of just under 4000 sutras [rules expressed as aphorisms ], he built virtually the whole structure of the Sanskrit language, whose general 'shape' hardly changed for the next two thousand years."

>Every 'philosophy' in Sanskrit is in fact a 'theory of everything'. [The many strands are synthesised in Vedanta --Veda + anta--, which means the 'last word in Vedas'.] Mimamsa, which is a part of the Vedas, even ignores the God idea. The reality as we know was not created by anyone --it always was--, but may be shaped by everyone out of free will. Which is a way of saying --in OOP terms-- that you may not touch the mother or core classes but may create any variety of instances of them. It is significant that no new 'classes' have had to be created. Thathachar believes it is not a 'language' as we know the term but the only front-end to a huge, interlinked, analogue knowledge base. The current time in human history is ripe, he feels for India's young techno wizards to turn to researching Mimamsa and developing the ultimate programming language around it; nay, an operating system itself.

>Thathachar believes that not enough is being done to explore the rich veins in Sanskrit's knowledge mines. Yoga, ayurveda, architecture, music, dance, statecraft and the like are but a few products that have been brought out. Agriculture, metallurgy, computer sciences etc can gain if new forays are made into the depths of Sanskrit. He is gratified recognition for the Academy's work with Sanskrit is coming slowly. It is an approved 'Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation' [SIRO]. It is recognised by the University of Mysore as a centre that can guide doctoral candidates. Visveswaraiah Technological University, Belgaum has permitted it to award PhD and MSc degrees by research in Information Technology, Materials Science, Aeronautics and Social engineering. Indian Space Research Organisation [ISRO] has commissioned it to prepare an Indian view of the cosmos.

Money as an end measure of attainments is ruining everything. Our governance, commerce, farming and relationships are all drifting away from the reality that can work without conflicts. We are fooling ourselves with what is progress. We will face the wall soon," he says. He sounds far from being despondent or extremist, though. In fact there is a glint in his eyes, almost as if he can sense that the trend may be reversing.

I want some Organization names so that I can join for the Research! Thanks.

Hi All,

I have gone through the links. But none talks of  role played by sanskrit for computer language. As NASA told that they have been doing research on this, I want to know whether even ISRO or any other Indian Organization working on the same. Thanks.

sanskrit is divine language, dEva bhaasha

I am afraid, calling Sanskrit s divine language or deva bhasha is the surest way of keeping the language away from the masses! We'll have to wait till masses become 'deva's!

same. Thanks.

<==

and from your further clarification, offline to myself
<==
As how the binaries are first converted to assembly language(in english),

I thought the same can be done with sanskrit(where assembly language will
now be written in sanskrit).
I dont know how complex this task is!
<==

The harsh reality is, that there is no NASA research program into Sanskrit
as an assembly language. Not at NASA, in India, or anywhere else - and for good
reason.

You appear to be confusing the undisputed and unambiguous logic of Pāṇini's
Treatise of the language, with the language so treated.
The first is indeed unambiguous, the second most certainly not, indeed many
works of literature, especially of the more poetic variety were deliberately
composed as ambiguously as possible for the entertainment of and appreciation of
the learned.
One only as to glance through the discussions in this forum to realise the
truth of that. Many of the discussions are concerned with reconciling the
various, often contradictory interpretations of the authoritative commentaries
on the same classical texts. Even with regard to Pāṇini's Treatise, scholars
delight in discovering an occasional ambiguity.
I'm having to read your mind, here, but were you inspired by the assertions
made in an AI-Magazine, that Sanskrit is the ideal language for 'computer
usage', 'because it is unambiguous'?

As to the complexity of writing an assembler in Sanskrit, it wouldn't be
very complex at all.
Here is an MSDOS version of the famous Hello World program that a learner
gets to write as his very first program, within the five minutes or so of study.


; Hello World for Intel Assembler (MSDOS)
mov ax,cs
mov ds,ax
mov ah,9
mov dx, offset Hello
int 21h
xor ax,ax
int 21h
Hello:
db "Hello World!",13,10,"$"

All anyone has to do is to write the assembly language instructions, mov,
int, xor, db etc in Sanskrit. But why would anyone want to?
What Sanskrit words you to use for move, interrupt, exclusive or, debug
etc? Then there would be the little matter of international agreement for the
ANSI standard.
And the Sanskrit for 'exclusive or', or the 'debug' command to compile
those instructions?

By the way, it's the other way around - you first write the instructions in
assembly language (in Sanskrit, if you must), then compile ('convert') them into
the executable ('the binary).
Nowadays, since the development of High Level languages, instructions can
be written in a more human friendly manner, more or less in the same way that we
speak. Although in a somewhat curt manner, and with a very limited and agreed
vocabulary.
Each such computer language being necessarily a somewhat (very!) simplified
version of a native language, be it English or Sanskrit or Arabic or Russian.

Communication with machines in the same way as communicating with humans is
fraught with difficulties, not least because it is rich in ambiguities,
innuendoes etc. not to mention jokes and insults, Sanskrit being no exception.

Just how suitable is artha for example, as an unambiguous term for Object
as in Object Oriented Programming.

As to that article on the non-existent NASA research program into Sanskrit.

You appear to have been inspired by an example of fan magazine feel-good
style of writing. Let the reader beware! First, debug liberally with a little
home grown pre-processing power - thought.
The article quoted is on a web site - devoted to Sanskrit. The article
itself being written by individual on his own behalf, a Rick Briggs, who, as an
individual just happens to work as ‘a senior research Scientist with NASA who
specializes in Artificial Intelligence (Computer Languages etc)’.
The said article appears in a, shall we say, 'popular' AI Magazine, where
Briggs extols the many virtues of Sanskrit etc. albeit without substantiating a
single one of his assertions, which as a ‘scientist’ he should be ashamed of
himself.
and - bemoans the fact that NASA does NOT look into Sanskrit as a computer
language.
