The repository is a web application written in JavaScript in Ruby that implements a programming language called قلب that is programed using an Arabic syntax.
The internal implementation is largely in English because it is built on JavaScript, but you can see the mapping of Arabic function names to JavasScript implementations in primitives.js. Examples of whole scripts written in قلب can be found in the examples folder. You can interact with the interpreter online to see what it all looks like in action.
qlb.peg is the grammar, used by peg.js to parse قلب source code. The runtime is largely implemented in qlb.js.
There is no reference for functions or arguments at the moment. I plan on holding workshops at Eyebeam in the coming months, though, so I should have some documentation up by then.
Hope that clears things up!

Awesome! That clears it up. Thanks for your work on this. I've been thinking about a non-english programming language since the day I learned that Java supports UTF-8 for everything, not just string types.
I've been in work situations (I'm a professional hacker) where I saw first hand the "I'll just learn English so I can write software" problem. You picked an pretty hard place to start! Right-to-left non-latin glyphs!
Thanks again. I'm in NYC so I'll stop by some by Eyebeam.

Awesome! The show is open until Saturday. Stop by and you can see the calligraphy pieces.
