-====== TUF-PL ======
+====== TAV-PL ======
-In den letzten Jahren habe ich eine Programmiersprache mit der Bezeichung TUF-PL beschrieben und implementiert,
+In the last decade, I have specified and implemented an unusual programming language that fits my personal taste.
-die meinem persönlichen Geschmack entspricht.
+**I am currently revising the language in order to publish the source code, so some details will change.**
+The source code is now online: [[http://tavpl.de]].
+There is a [[http://rclab.de/TAV-Online/TAVPL-Tutorial.html|Tutorial]] (also as {{:tavpl:tavpl-tutorial.pdf|PDF}})  and a [[http://rclab.de/TAV-Online/TAVPL.html| Language Description]] (also as {{:tavpl:tavpl.pdf|PDF}}),
+plus a simple [[http://rclab.de/TAV-Online/|TAV-PL playground]] to test small programs online (including more elaborate examples not in the tutorial).
+TAV-PL is a precompiler for the C programming language, thus it is fairly easy to port the compiler — written in TAV-PL — to most computers.
+The differences and highlights are:
+   * C precompiler, should work on any system with a reasonable C compiler
+   * Block structuring by indentation, like in //Python//; line oriented
+   * No keywords in the core language, only symbols and bigraphs
+   * Variables are of any kind (type) dynamically; no declarations
+   * Function definition and calls by word sequences with interspersed parameters, often no parenthesis needed
+   * Maps (dictionaries) with all kinds of keys (except floating-point numbers)
+   * Rows (arrays) if the keys are close integers, dynamically expanding
+   * Arbitrary precision integer numbers
+   * Dynamic UTF strings
+   * Fields for extra data in rows and maps
+   * Attributes for information about an item (object)
+   * Fault items for reliable error handling
+   * Basic support for object-oriented programming (no inheritance)
+   * Discretionary type system specified, but not yet tested
+The source code for the compiler, runtime system and library will be available as open source, if there is sufficient interest in it.
+If you have comments or questions, write to [[info@tavpl.de]] or try a chat with **tavpl** via [[http://jami.net|JAMI]] or with //tav@glaschick.de// via XMPP.
