TablaM: A experimental, non-ready for production, relational language

NOT USE FOR REAL WORK

Long term goals

Build a practical general language but tailored for data-manipulation and database coding(in the broad sense of the word).

Become a spiritual attempt at the dbase/foxpro family of database-oriented languages, in the sense manipulate data(bases) is natural and integrated.

Have an in-memory relational/column-oriented structure as the main object, and facilities to provide a relational interface for custom objects/data (like for example, RDBMS, the file system, csv, json, etc).

Could be kind of similar to kdb+ but far less cryptic.

Be good not only for developers but also for database end-users to explore and interface with data.

Work on OSX, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android

Easy to embeb in other languages?

Contribution guidelines

If have experience in language design or in-memory database coding, please help!

Until the language become stable this wiki is for collect information about the design & development, not for end-users.
