Uyirmei
*Experimental programming language in Tamizh*
#### Why
This is an experimental side project to validate if a new language grammar can be supported with just ruby metaprogramming constructs. 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.. :)
#### Show me the code
Let us look at sample programs before introducing the *limited* language constructs formally..
1. Determine if a number is odd or not
Output:
இரட்டை
ஒற்றை
இரட்டை
2. Generate prime numbers upto n
Output:
3
5
7
11
13
Had 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
#### Language constructs
| In Uyirmei | Equivalent keyword | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|சாற்று | let | Define a variable |
|வினை | function | Define a method/routine |
|எனில் | if | execute block if evaluates to true |
|இல்லைஎனில் | unless | execute block if evaluates to false |
| மீண்டும் | loop | execute given block till break |
| நிறுத்து | break | break out of loop if condition passes |
| அச்சு | print | print with a newline |
| மெய் | true | |
| பொய் | false | |
#### Installation
To run the interpreter, install the gem
```bash
$ gem install uyirmei
```
Run the code (with extension `.um`) using the following command
```bash
$ uyirmei run examples/prime.um
```
