๐ŸŒฑ From .NET Developer to Building My Own Programming Language in Tamil

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hello, **I'm Kamalnath****

I'm a Software Engineer from Tamil Nadu, India. After 2 years of working in .NET technologies at Capgemini, life took a turn โ€” a break due to health and personal reasons. But instead of giving up, I decided to rise again.

๐Ÿ’ป Rebuilding Myself

In 2024, I started learning Python and AI through YouTube and free resources. No paid bootcamps. No mentors. Just me, my curiosity, and the internet.

During this time, I discovered something powerful โ€” coding can feel like home when it's written in your own language.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Introducing TamilLang โ€“ A Programming Language in Tamil

I created TamilLang, a small programming language using Python that lets you code using Tamil keywords.

๐Ÿ”น Published on PyPI: pip install tamilcode
๐Ÿ”น Supports Tamil keywords like เฎชเฎคเฎฟเฎชเฏเฎชเฎฟ, เฎฎเฎพเฎฑเฏเฎฑเฏ, เฎจเฎฟเฎฑเฏˆเฎตเฏ, and more
๐Ÿ”น Built using Python, CLI tools, and Unicode logic
๐Ÿ”น You can embed Python inside using PYTHON: blocks
๐Ÿ”น Perfect for beginners who speak Tamil but fear English-based syntax

๐Ÿง  It was a fun experiment in language parsing, interpreters, and CLI building.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Why I Built It

I wanted to show that you donโ€™t need to be perfect in English to become a programmer. Logic has no language. And if tech feels too foreign, letโ€™s make it feel local.

๐ŸŒŸ Whatโ€™s Next?

Iโ€™m still exploring:
Backend development with .NET and Python
AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini
Open-source projects and community learning

And yes, Iโ€™m open to AI, web, or backend roles!
