What is Legesher?

​Legesher empowers developers to code in the context of their native language. 
Legesher, an open-source, native language-based programming platform, creates new opportunities for developers around the world to learn, create and collaborate. Designed to seamlessly integrate into a developer's current workflow, innovation won't be lost in translation. 
​💻
 Legesher is currently in beta. Development is focused on implementing a native-language enabled Python programming language and IDE. 
​👩💻
 Legesher is also contributor-driven.  It relies on the passionate members of its community (both developer and non-developer alike) to keep delivering impactful tools to people all over the world. 
Background
Computer Science, as a global discipline, is predominantly English-based. However, only ~4% of people in the world are native English speakers. Legesher creates access for non-native English-speaking developers to code using popular programming languages in the context of their native language. Legesher's open-source, native language-based programming platform is designed to bridge language barriers for education, innovation, and collaboration.
