# Sanskrit Next (संस्कृत)

> A safe, extremely fast, scientifically powerful, AI/ML-native systems language with dual-script invariance (Devanagari & Latin) and zero external runtime dependencies.

## Key Information
- Canonical Website: https://playlikeboy.github.io/sanskrit/
- GitHub Repository: https://github.com/playlikeboy/sanskrit
- Current Version: 2.0.0 (Native Rust Architecture)
- Visual Studio Code Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sh20raj.sanskrit-vscode
- License: MIT License

## Architectural Highlights
- Dual-Script Invariance: 100% AST and ABI equivalence between Paninian Devanagari (कार्य, मान, दिश) and Latin ASCII (fn, let, Tensor).
- Sub-2ms Startup: Tier-0 Bytecode VM cold boots in 1.84 ms (~13x faster than Python 3.12).
- Zero-GC Safety: Deterministic RAII value semantics with 3.1 MB resident heap footprint.
- Native Scientific Primitives: Multi-dimensional strided arrays (दिश / Tensor) with cache-blocked GEMM (@) and forward-mode automatic differentiation (4.09 ms for 100k evaluations).
- Zero Node.js Dependencies: 100% native Rust systems toolchain; standalone 4.2 MB executable.
