tpp-language 3.1.3

T++: Human-first natural language programming platform

T++

Human-first programming, engineered for real-world software.

T++ is a next-generation language platform that lets developers write expressive, natural syntax while keeping deterministic runtime behavior, modern tooling, and production CI discipline.

Current stable release: 3.1.3

Download from PyPI:

pip install tpp-language

Why T++

• Natural language syntax that remains readable to humans and executable by machines.
• Full CLI workflow for run, repl, test, plugin management, API serving, and diagnostics.
• Extensible plugin system with keyword rewrites and transform hooks.
• Built-in web IDE backend and JSON execution API.
• PyPI distribution for immediate adoption: pip install tpp-language.

Features

• Human-first syntax with strict, fuzzy, and intent parsing modes.
• Modular architecture: parser, runtime engine, stdlib, API, CLI, plugins.
• Test blocks and suites directly in .tpp source.
• Configurable project behavior via .tppconfig.
• CI/CD-ready repository with matrix validation and release automation.

Installation

pip install tpp-language

Verify install:

tpp --version
tpp doctor

Local development install:

python -m pip install -e .[dev]

Usage

Run a script:

tpp run examples/hello.tpp

Start interactive REPL:

tpp repl

Run regression tests:

tpp test tests/regression.tpp

Plugin workflow:

tpp plugin install examples/sample_plugin.json
tpp plugin list
tpp run examples/plugin_demo.tpp --plugin examples/sample_plugin.json

Start API + Web IDE:

tpp api --serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8787

Open http://127.0.0.1:8787/ in your browser.

Architecture Overview

tpp/
	core/      -> AST, constants, diagnostics, utilities
	parser/    -> lexer, parser, semantic analyzer, optimizer
	runtime/   -> engine, evaluator, environment, interop, profiler
	stdlib/    -> native modules (math, text, system, time)
	plugins/   -> plugin loading, metadata, transforms
	cli/       -> command surface (run/repl/test/plugin/api/doctor)
	api/       -> JSON execution API + web IDE server

Design goal: natural syntax at the top, predictable execution at the core.

Examples

Simple script:

say "Hello from T++"
let name be "Developer"
say "Welcome" then name

Natural arithmetic and expectations:

let x be 4
increase x by 6
expect x to be 10

API payload:

{
	"source": "let x be 5\nsay x",
	"mode": "run"
}

Roadmap

• Richer language server and editor integration.
• Expanded standard library and package ecosystem.
• Advanced plugin marketplace and sharing model.
• Enhanced debugging and profiling introspection.
• Cloud-hosted collaborative web IDE experience.

Validation and CI

This repository includes production-ready GitHub Actions workflows:

• .github/workflows/ci.yml: continuous validation for push and pull request
• .github/workflows/release.yml: tag-based release build + GitHub Release + optional PyPI publish

CI validates:

• package installation (pip install .)
• compile checks (python -m compileall -q tpp)
• linting (ruff check tpp tests scripts)
• required CLI contract (tpp --version, run, test, repl, plugin install/list)
• tpp doctor diagnostics

Release Process

Create a semantic version tag:

git tag v3.1.1
git push origin v3.1.1

The release workflow will:

• build wheel + sdist
• run twine check
• run smoke tests against built wheel
• generate release notes from git history
• publish a GitHub release with artifacts

Optional PyPI publish:

• run release workflow manually with publish_to_pypi=true, or
• set repository variable TPP_PUBLISH_PYPI=true for tag pushes

Developer Workflow

python -m pip install -e .[dev]
pre-commit install
python scripts/ci_validate.py
pytest -q tests/test_cli_integration.py

Security Notes

• Python module bridging is allow-listed
• system stdlib file operations are workspace-sandboxed
• plugin Python hooks are namespace-restricted
