Generalizing it to internationalization (i18n), many of i18n facilities of each programing language were accepted as ISO standards. Some programming languages allow users to use user-defined words in such multi-octet characters as kanji. Some new Japanesebased programming languages have also been developed and used. In all those languages, keywords and grammar are based on Japanese, but words have to be separated by spaces. This paper discusses a non-separated (No wakachigaki) version ofJapanese-based programming langage“Mahoroba”.“Mahoroba” is a word of ancient Japan, and means a nice country. The paper describes its design philosophy, syntax and evaluation by experimental implementation.
