Thanks for your feedback! I agree that language itself is the real challenge. I had to deal with a lot of RTL/encoding issues, sure, but the real difficulty is how do you map engrained concepts from one culture to the next? I don't have any solid answers, and قلب is very much an experiment.
The REPL complains about 'letter unexpected' because the first thing it encounters is the ASCII 'Q', which is invalid outside of a string, and barfs.
I completely agree that Arabic linguistics aren't being utilized to their fullest. My Arabic is certainly not as strong as my English, unfortunately. This is a very preliminary release, and I'm excited to collaborate with others stronger in written Arabic for better word choice and semantics.
