Show HN: Gpython is a python interpreter written in go “batteries not included”
- nickcw 8y agogpython is an overly ambitious project to port/re-implement cpython in go. I've been meaning to release it for a long time but I've never felt it was finished. The project kind of ground to a halt with the difficulty of porting all those C modules. It still isn't finished but I'm sending it out there anyway as it might be of interest to others!
- CogitoCogito 8y agoMaybe the first test would be to try to port/implement the cffi module. That would at least allow you to use modules written to use that and would be a first test to see how feasible any more general module support would be.
- mastrsushi 8y agoIs there any benefit to having Python implemented in Go, or is it just for curiousity?
- mhh__ 8y agoI often wonder this when I see x written in Go/whatever. I'm assuming you could embed it in a Webserver?
