The Programming Language Designed for LLMs, Not Humans
AICode-AI is a radically optimized programming language that uses mathematical Unicode symbols to minimize token usage for Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Claude.
Not for humans. Not readable. Not writable.
Only for LLMs. Only efficient. Only autonomous.
Traditional programming languages are designed for human readability. AICode-AI flips this: it's designed specifically for AI code generation and consumption, achieving 40-60% token reduction compared to Python.
def fizzbuzz(n):
if n%3==0 and n%5==0:
return "FizzBuzz"
elif n%3==0:
return "Fizz"
elif n%5==0:
return "Buzz"
else:
return nfn fizzbuzz(n)
if n % 3 == 0 and n % 5 == 0
return "FizzBuzz"
else if n % 3 == 0
return "Fizz"
else if n % 5 == 0
return "Buzz"
else
return n

evens = filter(lambda x: x%2==0, numbers)
doubled = map(lambda x: x*2, evens)
total = sum(doubled)AICode-AI (14 tokens - 50% reduction)
let evens = ∃ numbers (λα: α%2=0)
let doubled = ∀ evens (λα: α*2)
let total = ∑ doubled (λα β: α+β) 0
- ASCII Syntax - Human-readable (v1 compatible)
- Unicode Syntax - Ultra-compact (v2 optimized)
- Hindley-Milner Type Inference - Automatic type checking without annotations
- Polymorphic Types - Generic functions with type variables
- Type Checking - Compile-time type verification
- Bytecode Compiler - Compiles to efficient bytecode
- Stack-based VM - Fast execution with optimized opcodes
- Module System - Import/export functionality with caching
- Unicode Mathematical Functions: ∀ (map), ∃ (filter), ∑ (reduce), ∈ (contains)
- String Operations: strlen, substring, split, join, replace, chr, ord
- Math Functions: abs, min, max, sum, range, length
- Result Type: Ok/Err for error handling with unwrap, unwrap_or

Import modules using:
# Import all exports
import math
println(math.PI)
# Import with alias
import math as m
println(m.square(5))
# Import specific names
import math { PI, square }
println(PI)
Create modules by saving code in .aic files. All top-level definitions are automatically exported.
