🐴 CENTAUR LANG
The World’s First Human+AI Programming Language
🌟 What is CENTAUR LANG?
CENTAUR LANG is a revolutionary programming language that bridges the gap between human intent and working code. Instead of writing complex syntax, you describe what you want in natural language, and the CENTAUR compiler transforms it into clean, production-ready HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

💚 The CENTAUR Philosophy
“Neither human alone, nor AI alone — but something greater together.”
CENTAUR LANG is born from the CENTAUR Partnership — the world’s first officially declared Human+AI creative collaboration.
We believe the future of programming isn’t about replacing humans with AI. It’s about combining human creativity with AI capability to create something neither could achieve alone.
