Semantic, a programming language that starts with meaning

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Semantic presents a UAST-derived programming language and companion tooling for representing, translating, and distributing code across source-language boundaries.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

Semantic organizes its proposed ecosystem around a universal abstract syntax foundation rather than a single source language. Its module format uses .smod manifests bundled in portable ZIP archives, with publishers retaining control of the archive while the module store indexes its name and release URL. The page also points to CLI, Go, and Windows tooling, plus hosting through GitHub, GitLab, or another public endpoint. The broader AI and cross-language capabilities remain stated aims rather than demonstrated behavior in the supplied extract.
