# Tampiorama
A showcase for [Tampio](https://github.com/fergusq/tampio), a natural-language object-oriented programming language that uses Finnish grammar and compiles to JavaScript.
Tampiorama provides working, annotated examples and documentation to help you explore Tampio without wrestling with its native dependencies.
## Quickstart (Docker)
The easiest way to try Tampio, no manual `libvoikko` setup required:
```sh
docker compose run --rm tampio
```
This drops you into a shell with `tampio` available. Run any example:
```sh
tampio examples/basics/hello.tampio
```
## What is Tampio?
Tampio programs read like Finnish sentences. Methods are defined using grammatical cases, so the language's syntax is shaped by natural-language morphology rather than punctuation.
```tampio
[Tampio example will go here]
```
See [`docs/cheatsheet.md`](docs/cheatsheet.md) for a map of Finnish grammatical cases to their roles in Tampio code, and [`docs/vs-javascript.md`](docs/vs-javascript.md) for side-by-side comparisons with JavaScript.
## Examples
| Directory | Contents |
|-----------|----------|
| `examples/basics/` | Hello world, factorial, Fibonacci |
| `examples/data-structures/` | Lists, maps |
| `examples/strings/` | String manipulation |
| `examples/async/` | Promise / async usage |
| `examples/program/` | A small complete program |
## Local Setup (without Docker)
See [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md) for instructions on installing `libvoikko` and `tampio` natively.
