Chili

A programming language for data analysis and engineering, written in Rust.

Chili uses Polars for data manipulation and Arrow/Parquet for data storage.

Language Syntaxes

Chili provides two language syntaxes:

  • chili — a modern syntax similar to JavaScript.
  • pepper — a vintage syntax similar to q.

Features

  • Polars-powered — full Polars DataFrame support for high-performance data manipulation
  • Arrow / Parquet storage — native support for columnar data formats
  • Partitioned tables — date-partitioned Parquet storage with partition pruning
  • Lazy evaluation — lazy DataFrames with collect for deferred computation
  • IPC / TCP — built-in TCP listener for remote connections
  • Tick / Sub — publish-subscribe infrastructure for real-time data
  • Job scheduler — periodic job execution and memory monitoring
  • Cross-platform — Linux, macOS, and Windows

Installation

Via pip (recommended)

pip install chili-pie

From source

cargo build --release --bin chili

Python bindings (chili-sauce)

pip install chili-sauce

Quick Start

Launch the REPL:

# chili syntax (default)
chili

# pepper syntax
chili -P

Evaluate a script:

chili script.chi
