So the Vatican no longer prescribes Latin as first official language (https://thecatholicherald.com/article/vatican-ends-routine-u...) but now we get Latin C libraries?

I definitely didn't expect to see such a project, but this is a refreshingly (positively) crazy thing in the age of AI slop...

What's going on in RELAX.md?

Very impressive - there is a lot of work here! But why? They explain it in docs/latina.h.md |

In include/latina.h, they use the C preprocessor to redefine the C keywords in Latin. Also, many numeric constants -- instead of 4096 you write MMMMXCVI.

The other files in docs explain each library routine in English, but the code samples are in Latin. The source files - a lot of them! - are in include and lib. The code is all in Latin, including the error messages and comments.

Interesting!

Back in the '80s, before AI could quickly produce such things, I had created a "Greek" version of the C language -- obviously named "Γ".

A lot of preprocessor definitions were involved for keyword translation, as one can imagine. Translating the C standard library was a much more difficult process: it involved patching the compiler/linker on a BSD system, since you could not have non-ASCII symbols (function entry points).

This same author's Aquinas OS also looks interesting -- although it is not in Latin.

I like this project, because it's fundamentally insane. I really enjoyed reading your CLAUDE.md and related documents, as someone with a religious philosophy background, it was a really wild ride and I am now very curious about how Claude feels going through the onboarding process. You're essentially "breaking the brain" of Claude and then having it work on your code. Do you have Claude also read show_bible.md?
