Applications developed in a few hours

Ring is a new programming language that focuses on the Natural Language Programming and Declarative Programming paradigms and will let you think different about programming and how to solve your problems in a better way. In little days after the first release we got thousands of downloads and many developers started learning and using the language. Their feedback are the secret behind the language progress and success. They said that Ring is powerful, beautiful and easy to learn, Some of them provided good examples about what can be done using Ring in a few hours. They are very happy with the language productivity.

, Jamie Cooper
“I was recently considering designing my own dynamically-typed, prototypical language and then developing a means to compile it into C/C++. However, last night I was surfing the web and noticed a little-known language called “Ring” which you’ve recently created. I began reading the Motivation section in Wikibooks to see why the language was designed and implemented, and I was shocked to see that someone else had created a language with the same intention and need as myself. I mean, it’s mind-blowing that someone would have addressed every issue I have with the currently accepted languages. It’s crazy to think it’s only been around for a year and yet, it’s already, practically a batteries-included language.”
, Gedalya (YouTube)
“Thank you Mr. Mahmoud for all the wonderful work, whenever I dive in the Source code I see the great effort, further development more excellence, God will reward you with what you wish”
, Azzedine Ramal
“What a great joy to find this surprisingly genius language !!!. It was a total joy to go through the documentation and look at the samples in Rosetta code. Marvelous work. I would even leave my fortune to the development of this language. Keep the good work going and wishing this language will go viral. ps: Thanks for keeping array index to start with 1. It means a lot.”
, Nehemiah Jacob (Sydney, Australia)

“Ring Notepad is a an example of the power of Ring. It is like NotePad++ with built in form design capability, drag and drop, object attributes etc. It is a marvelous application”
, Bert Mariani (Italy)
“Ring is the language that offers the greatest potential for converting programmers frustrated with the amount of time it takes to develop apps in C/C++, C# and other OOP-based languages. Considering the extent to which Ring has evolved since the first release in 2016, the Ring team has proven itself worthy of a very high achievement award in the world of programming languages. The extent to which Ring has simplified the development database apps, web apps and GUI apps is a great credit to the Ring team. Ring’s implementation of OOP and GUI based apps is far superior to C++ and C#. Another major achievement of the Ring team is the ease at which programmers can get on-line access to Ring documentation, compared to on-line C++ and C# documentation. The Ring Game Engine is truly elegant and it’s designer (s) deserve lots of credit for such an impressive bit of software.”
, L Godioleskky
“Strongly speaking, it is a strong and new game programming language.”
, IsVowel (Japan)
“The language seems to have some interesting features, specially the use of braces to access object fields and methods.”
, Nuaua (Reddit)
“The code that implements the Ring VM actually looks quite nice. There is a bunch of test code – great!”
, Peterfirefly (Reddit)
“Ring seems promising. It first appeared in 2016 although it’s concept is older. It is meant to be portable and can be embedded in C/C++ projects”
, Wim ten Brink (Quora - Top Writer (2018))
“Interesting alternative to Lua.”
, djxtc (Sourceforge)
“Ring is a serious thing in the programming language landscape. One shoud understand its foundation before she can shape an opinion worth considering. There are several innovations outthere with a clear commitment from its designer to simplicity, flexibility and learnability. Natural language as its imagined by Ring opens a window for an unlimited set of applications otherwise impossible to think about. One can built an interactive chatbot based on a rich domain specific language in a matter of hours not months. Combined with a smart yet effective implementation of a declarative programming paradigm, Ring empowers the creation of any kind of programming language on top of it, with any set of syntax. Even the language keywords can be overwritten to serve one’s own keywords in any human language not only english. Ring is a disruption, a big intellectual step forward but also a beautiful reincarnation of several legacy ideas and best practices from other old languages like Basic, Lisp and others. Those ideas ar e a humanity heritage that new visionaries like Mahmoud S. Fayed, the Ring designer, but also Rick Hickey, the Clojure designer, are trying to callback in today’s world of complex programmability. An other dimension of Ring, which formed one of its basic motivations, relates to visual programming. Software is a fluid and evolutionary creature and textual code is not accessible to the most of common humans. The promise of visual programming is to empower people, enhance understandability and invite business users to the arena of software development more intuitively. Ring was made by design with an objective of having a programming language capable of better supporting the visual paradigm. Gamification is a first-class citizen in the language. This is a tremendous advantage compared to other general-purpose programming languages. Ring supports a large number of gaming libraries and open a large window of capabilities to use, not only in gaming but also in business and education applications. The best way to a ssesing the power of Ring is to looking into it and reflecting about the number of problems it is capable to solve.”
, Mansour Ayouni (Tunisia)
“I have only known ring-lang for few weeks, really love features and visions of ring: bracket access, class region, declarative and natural programming. It’s simple and beautiful the way ring deal with these paradigms. I think it’s really great work what you’re done, and doing. I want to develop ethereum client in ring language, not only but it’s style. It’ll have natural and declarative code on it’s main part. Furthermore, It will be fantastic if there is “natural language -> evm bytecode” compiler, maybe ring have the solution”
, Asta
“The language looks great!”
, Eric Hawk
“You put a lot of work in the Ring and you’re a great programmer. I saw your examples in 3D I’ve looked at part of your project, it’s really great”
, Rafal Jopek
“Looks like a big project and an impressive piece of work”
, Rochus Keller (PhD From ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
“I see Ring a very useful and easy in PROGRAMMING IN REGIONAL LANGUAGE. I tried to program in my mother language Hindi ( India) using UNICODE It is working. No other language give me such an easy platform.”
, Negi Manoj (India)

Innovative

The language comes with better support for Natural Language Programming and Declarative Programming. The innovation comes in supporting these paradigms with new practical techniques on the top of Object-Oriented Programming and Functional Programming. No need to know anything about (Compilers and Parsing). You get the language constructs ready for use to create domain-specific languages in a fraction of time.
