Article 1: Revelation in one word. How was the idea of YAP born?".

This is still a closed project, so we cannot disclose its name. We want you to see his soul and philosophy first.

We are used to programming languages being born out of mathematics and engineering necessity. They are pragmatic. They are tools. But what if you approach the creation of a language not as an engineer, but as... An archaeologist? What if the code is based not on the logic of a machine, but on the logic of human culture?

This post is the beginning of a story about such an attempt. Stories about the creation of a new Kazakh programming language based on the semantics and philosophy of our native language.

All my life I have been speaking the language of my ancestors, unaware that I possess not just a means of communication, but the most ancient artifact — the living chronicle of mankind. Like many people, I searched for answers in books, in dusty archives, in other people's theories. I looked at the stars and didn't know that the whole mystery of our origin was hidden in my native language.

The impetus for this was the works of the great Olzhas Omarovich Suleimenov, who for many became "the first path to truth." And one evening, the picture of the world took shape. The answer pierced me. It was in the simple, familiar word "Ayel".

In an instant, it split into two ancient roots in my mind, which I knew separately, but never connected.:

  • Ai is the Moon.
  • The People ate.

A woman is the "Moon People."

At that moment, the familiar world crumbled. If there is a whole cosmogonic legend hidden in such a simple word, then how many more secrets does our language keep? What if it's not just a language, but the program code of the universe, which is waiting to be deciphered?

That's how the idea was born: to create a programming language where syntax is not a set of rules, but a reflection of deep cultural codes.

This hypothesis was too bold to leave it as just a beautiful metaphor. It was necessary to check: are there any other "artifact words" that confirm this logic? We began our joint investigation with AI, and native speech began to reveal its secrets.

If the woman is a descendant of the "moon people", then who is the first man? In our search for an answer, we came across another name whose history has been distorted over the centuries—Adam. We were taught that it means "earth" or "soil," but the proto-language says otherwise. This is an accurate description of its origin.:

  • Hell is our world, this light.
  • Am is a woman's womb, the gateway of life.

Adam is "Who came into this world from the womb of a woman." Born from the bosom of a lunar civilization, not made of clay. His children, according to legend, carried the knowledge of the stars and were distinguished from the wild tribes by their fair skin and white eyebrows. That's what they were called — "Kasak", the White-browed ones. Over time, this name could be distorted into "kazak" — the name not of the nation, but of the mission: to bring light.

Driven by this idea, we moved on. If the "Kas ak" civilization existed, it must have left traces. And we started to find them in geographical names all over Eurasia. The totem of these "gardeners of civilization" was the white swan — "Ak kaz", a symbol of purity, from the root of which, perhaps, the self—name "kazak" - "free man" was born.

Their path is a glowing path.:

  • The lake in the east, which amazed them with its wealth, they named "Bai-Ka l" ("Wealth-Stay"). Today we know it as Baikal.
  • The snowy mountains of the Carpathians were named "Kar Pathe" - "Snow blanket"
  • But sometimes their gaze saw the tragedy. They named one beautiful peninsula "Kyrym" — "Massacre". It was a prophecy about the lands for which their grinding descendants would destroy each other for centuries.
  • The lands in the north were named "Kar Eli" — "Snow country". Today we know them as Karelia.

It was impossible to turn this poetic insight into a coherent theory alone. I turned to the most impartial assistant, artificial intelligence. Our dialogue became a battlefield of co-creation, where poetic intuition and machine logic collided.

The first challenge: How to convert a rich, multi-valued root from a proto-language into a strictly defined, logical instruction for the compiler? After all, the command if x > 5 cannot have a second, "poetic" meaning.

Our breakthrough came when we found a bridge between the sacred meaning and the binary logic of a computer. We took as a basis the eternal pair of opposites — the passive, informational principle I (Moon) and the active, active principle Q (Sun) — and made them the core of our language, the equivalents of false and true.

We realized that we can build an entire system on such fundamental pairs. We took familiar images — Mountain, Steppe, Beginning, Solution — and began to forge from them a unique runic alphabet, where each character was not just a letter, but in a meaningful way representing fundamental programming concepts such as immutability, variability, function and condition.

We are not just creating another exotic language. We are trying to answer the main question: can programming be an act of cultural expression? Can our own language teach us to think in a new way, even when working with a machine?

In the next article, we will describe in detail exactly how we created the complete runic alphabet from scratch, and on what principles its harmony is based. We will show how simple and familiar images to every Kazakh formed the basis of computer commands.

This is our way of returning to our roots in the digital world. Join us.
