Ovis: English-based programming language compiles to native code

Ovis is a novel programming language that allows users to write code in plain English, which is then compiled into native executables using LLVM. The language aims to bridge the gap between natural language and high-performance compiled code. Ovis employs a deterministic parser and a small, locally-run language model that assists in interpreting ambiguous English phrases, ensuring that the model never writes code directly but rather selects from type-checked readings, with all choices logged for reproducibility. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel approach to programming by using natural language, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for software development.
