FratmScript is a fun compiler that lets you write JavaScript using Neapolitan-flavoured syntax and idioms — turning familiar coding into something that reads comme si stess’ parlanno ’nnapulitano. Perfect for devs who love creative coding, local culture, or just want to write code like a true Napoletano 🤌

I think that I need to learn Italian! :D :)
@busmark_w_nika hahah might be a way to learn the dialect AND js
Thanks @sofia__bettari for hunting this — and for believing in a project that really started as a joke 🤌
The idea came on a train ride. I was listening to Succo di Mela, an Italian podcast, joking about FratmScript: a transpiler that lets you write JavaScript in Neapolitan dialect.
stamm a dì instead of console.log
facc instead of function
Tt sounded like a meme, so I treated it like an experiment.
What happens if you give AI a very tight, weird constraint — and then get out of the way?
This project is my answer. It’s silly, but it works. And that’s the interesting part.
Try it. Break it. Write the most cursed Neapolitan JavaScript you can think of.
If you’re curious about the thinking behind it, I wrote the full story on Substack

Haha fortissimo - funziona con altri dialetti?

Naples represent! 🤌 Fellow Napoletano here. Love FratmScript. Even as a non-dev, "stamm a dì" instead of console.log cracks me up. Props to Federico and Sofia. Upvoted! 😆
This project reminds me a bit of how children play: by taking things very seriously.
Which is to say that even something fun, silly, or experimental can be done well. Properly packaged, with a well-crafted presentation post, and the care it deserves.
That way, everyone has more fun. Well done, Federico! 🙌
