C-Shastri Programming Language

[ChampakDas]

Balaji Rangachari, a 3rd year student at IIT-Madras, has created a new programming language that might revolutionise the software industry as we know it. The programming language, named ‘C-Shastri’ by the young IITian, uses cricket commentator [url="http://www.cricketcountry.com/cricket-articles/tags/Ravi-Shastri/page/1"]Ravi Shastri[/url]’s cliches as syntax for complex programming constructs.

Bajali’s innovation promises to make coding far more pleasurable while ramping up efficiency of programmers. Addressing a group of programmers and technology evangelists at Microsoft India office in Hyderabad, Balaji demonstrated various keywords and constructs in C-Shastri to a rapt crowd that hung on to his every word. “C-Shastri will make programming a lot more interesting and will bring to your daily job the excitement of a riveting cricket match. Work in a software company will never be the same again,” he exclaimed, triggering rapturous applause and wolf-whistles in the room.
