> Wikifunctions is a Wikimedia project for everyone to collaboratively create and maintain a library of code functions to support the Wikimedia projects and beyond, for everyone to call and re-use in the world's natural and programming languages.
It's a support project of the Abstract Wikipedia initiative to model facts with data not specific to any spoken or written language, building on and supporting things like Wikidata.
It sounds as some kind of anti-Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - that we can express things entirely without using any language at all. I am very curious how it turns out - while I think Wikidata is taking it as far as it practically possible, and Abstract Wikipedia takes it way further - I'd be very curious to know how it turns out. Sometimes people just need to do things that look crazy to see what happens.
You don't need language to do maths — the Greeks went pretty far with geometry alone. While language makes it easier to understand things, it's not strictly necessary: you can learn a lot from mimicry, for instance.
