Tyrion
The Tyrion Programming Language

Small but
capable

Forge native binaries from .ty source.

I compile and I knows things. That's what I do.

Why Tyrion

Everything you need.
Not much you don’t.

Compiler. Interpreter. Native output.

Native binaries

Standalone executables for macOS and Linux.

Built with itself

Tyrion builds its own compiler.

Compiler + interpreter

Compile with tyrionic. Interpret with tyrion.

Familiar syntax

Functions. Classes. Collections. Generators.

The language

Familiar syntax.
Native output.

Write ordinary programs. Ship ordinary executables.

  • Lists, dictionaries, slices, and generators
  • Native process, terminal, TCP, and extension support
  • Command-line programs and standalone tools
collections.ty # a very small council 
def square(value):
    return value * value

values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squares = []

for value in values:
    squares.append(square(value))

print("squares", squares)
print("sum", sum(squares))
→ squares [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
sum 55

The toolchain

A deliberately small council.

Get started

From source to native
in one command.

Homebrew installs the compiler and interpreter. No oaths required.

1
Install brew install dennisvink/tyrion/tyrion
2
Compile tyrionic --build app.ty --out app
3
Or interpret tyrion app.ty
