Ritam Programming Language

Ritam is a universal, full-stack, cross-platform web development language designed to let developers code entirely in their native human language.

🚀 Why Ritam?

• Native-First Sovereignty: Code directly in your thought language. Ritam is not a translation layer; it is a native-language compiler.
• Universal Reach: Build for Web, Backend, and Mobile from a single sovereign source.
• Security by Design: Explicit #std prefixing ensures system-level operations are always visible and secure.

🌏 Supported Languages

Note: All listed languages support core syntax and native error messages. Advanced features (mobile targets, pattern matching depth, #std coverage) may vary slightly by language during the current stable release phase.

Key Features

• Native Language Support: Code in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Spanish.
• 100% Script Purity: Not a single English letter is required in the source code (Sovereign mode).
• Multi-Target Compilation: Transpiles Ritam source code into high-performance JavaScript (Node.js/Web), Swift (iOS), and JSX (React Native).
• Modern Syntax:
  • Structs & Enums (கட்டமைப்பு, பட்டியல் / संरचना, गणना)
  • Pattern Matching (பொருத்து / मिलाओ)
  • Loops (சுழற்சி / जबतक)
  • Functions & Components
• Sovereign Standard Library: Secure #std library with built-in math, string, list, and file operations.
• Minimal Language Philosophy: A clean, keyword-minimal core that prioritizes developer intent over syntax boilerplate.
• Sovereign Mapping: Internal 1:1 mapping between native descriptors and universal symbols.

💎 100% Script Purity

Ritam is arguably the only programming language that allows for 100% script purity. Not a single English letter is required in your source code (excluding standard punctuation).

Example (100% Tamil):

செயல் வணக்கம்() {
    பதிவிடு "வணக்கம் உலகம்!"
    மாறி சோதனை = மெய்
    எனில் (சோதனை) {
        #அடித்தளம்.பதிவிடு("இது ஒரு சோதனை.")
    }
}

Installation

npm install -g ritam

# Verify installation
ritam --version

Quick Start

# Initialize a new project
ritam init

# Compile your code
ritam compile main.rvx -t node

Language Support

Ritam handles keywords, console output, and Error Messages in the native language.

Example Error (Tamil):

'=' எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது ஆனால் 'EOF' கிடைத்தது (வரி 2)

Compilation Targets

Example Code

Tamil (தமிழ்)

கூறு முதன்மை {
  காண்பி "h1" "வணக்கம் உலகம்"
}

Hindi (हिंदी)

अंग मुख्य {
  प्रस्तुत "h1" "नमस्ते दुनिया"
}

Telugu (తెలుగు)

అంగం ప్రధాన {
  ప్రదర్శించు "h1" "నమస్కారం ప్రపంచం"
}

Stability Guarantees

Ritam is currently in Version 0.1.x. While the core syntax for Tamil and Hindi is stable, the Standard Library (#std) and Mobile targets are undergoing active development. We guarantee:

• Zero-Dependency Core: The compiler remains lightweight and portable.
• Native Error Parity: Errors will always match the language of the source code.
• Sovereign Isolation: All privileged system and IO operations require explicit #std or #-prefixed access.
