Services and embedded projects from the community.
Anbuselva Y is the founder, owner, and compiler lead of TEN.
Because no major language lets you write production systems code in your own language while staying fully interoperable with one canonical grammar underneath.
Programming literacy shouldn't require English fluency first. Multilingual syntax lowers that barrier without fragmenting the language itself.
Unknown until the LLVM backend ships — real benchmarks are published only, never projections.
A mature, widely-used optimizing backend already trusted by Rust, Swift, and Clang.
Yes — MIT licensed, with the full compiler source on GitHub.
Python is interpreted and English-only by design. TEN targets native performance and multilingual syntax from the ground up.
Keywords are picked to be short and easy to say out loud, so speech-to-text dictation maps cleanly onto valid TEN syntax. This is on the roadmap, not yet shipped.
Whichever dialect you're coding in. A Tamil program surfaces Tamil diagnostics, not an English message translated after the fact.
Yes — since every dialect compiles to the same canonical AST, AI tooling can re-render a Tamil file as Hindi, Telugu, or another supported pack without changing what the program does.
Rust-inspired safety, but with multilingual syntax and an AI-native grammar Rust was never designed around.
