Tampiorama — Project Plan

This is a project plan for open source showcase for Tampio, the Finnish natural-language OOP language. Tampio is a Python-based compiler that takes Finnish-syntax source files and compiles them to JavaScript.

Project Goals

• Provide working, annotated examples of Tampio code
• Document the language for English and Finnish speakers
• Make Tampio easy to try via Docker (no manual libvoikko setup)

    └── program/               ← small "real" program

Docker

• Base image: Ubuntu 24.04
• Installs: libvoikko-dev, voikko-fi, Python 3, python3-libvoikko, clones tampio from GitHub
• Note: Tampio is not on PyPI or npm — installed directly from source
• A /usr/local/bin/tampio wrapper makes it callable as a plain command
• Goal: docker compose run --rm tampio gives a working shell with no manual setup

Notes

• Project name: Tampiorama
• docs/cheatsheet.md covers annotated grammar constructs (Finnish cases → parameter roles) as well as raw syntax
