Write code in Tamil. Compile to native machine code. Run at C speed.
Tamizhi is a compiled programming language that combines the elegance of the Tamil language with the raw performance of native machine code. Unlike interpreted languages, Tamizhi compiles directly to binary via an LLVM backend—delivering performance comparable to C, while letting developers write logic in Tamil syntax.
«தமிழிலேயே கோட் எழுதி, மெஷின் ஸ்பீட்-ல இயக்கு.»
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔥 LLVM Backend | Optimized native code generation for modern CPUs. |
| ⚡ C-Level Performance | Significantly faster than Python and other interpreted languages. |
| 🛠️ Native CLI | Dedicated tamizhi command-line tool written in C. |
| 🌐 Tamil Syntax | Write logic using Tamil keywords (அச்சிடு, Num, etc.). |
| 🐧 Linux Native | Optimized for Linux (Arch/Manjaro) and Android (Termux). |
Ensure the following compiler tools are installed on your system before installation:
- Arch Linux / Manjaro:
sudo pacman -S clang llvm make - Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo apt install clang llvm make -y - Android Termux:
pkg install clang llvm make
