It's an inside joke of course. But inside of what? What is the real world language this appeals to? Hindi? Or none?

Actually, bhai in hindia means bro, and the language can be read in english like

starting: hello bro
ending: bye bro

variable declaration: bro this is a = 10;

The special thing about this is, reading it feels like talking rather than coding, that's why it's so popular...

Thanks for the translation. Reminds me of an unix filter called "jive" that translated text (not code) into jive (a particular flavour ot US street language).
