Genesis Programming Language
Updated on
I found a programming language called Genesis that is based on Paleo-Hebrew.
Here are some examples.

Typing in Paleo-Hebrew
I havenโt installed the Genesis interpreter yet, but I found a way to type Paleo-Hebrew on Mac by installing this Phoenician input method. The keybindings are the same as for Modern Hebrew. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the page. It might require rebooting the computer before you can add that keyboard input method in the Mac settings.
