I have used all tricks and hacks in ruby playbook to check if a new language parser can be supported. Consider this a starting point for a programming language enthusiast to define your own grammar and extend programming constructs in Tamizh. If you are serious about supporting full scale language features, you should look at a resource like [createyourproglang](http://createyourproglang.com/), metaprogramming can only take you so far.. :)\n\n#### Show me the code\n\nLet us look at sample programs before introducing the *limited* language constructs formally..\n\n1. Determine if a number is odd or not\n\n![alt tag](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcdexta/uyirmei/master/assets/odd_even.png)\n\nOutput: \nஇரட்டை\nஒற்றை\nஇரட்டை\n\n2. Generate prime numbers upto n\n\n![alt tag](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcdexta/uyirmei/master/assets/prime-sm.png)\n\nOutput: \n3\n5\n7\n11\n13\n\nHad to add screenshots since the language grammar is not supported by github. You can check out the code in the [examples](https://github.com/rcdexta/uyirmei/tree/master/examples) folder\n\n#### Language constructs\n\n| In Uyirmei  | Equivalent keyword | Notes   |\n|---|---|---|\n|சாற்று   | let   |  Define a variable  |\n|வினை   | function  |  Define a method/routine |\n|எனில்   | if  | execute block if evaluates to true  |\n|இல்லைஎனில்   | unless | execute block if evaluates to false  |\n| மீண்டும்   | loop | execute given block till break |\n| நிறுத்து   | break | break out of loop if condition passes |\n| அச்சு   | print | print with a newline |\n| மெய்   | true |  |\n| பொய்   | false | |\n\n#### Installation\n\nTo run the interpreter, install the gem\n\n```bash\n$ gem install uyirmei\n```\n\nRun the code (with extension `.um`) using the following command\n\n```bash\n$ uyirmei run examples/prime.um\n```\n\n#### LICENSE\n \nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frcdexta%2Fuyirmei","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frcdexta%2Fuyirmei","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frcdexta%2Fuyirmei/lists"}
