If I understand correctly, Cython generates C code that still depends on a Python runtime.
- sea6ear 15y agoAh, it looks like you are correct. Perhaps shedskin would work better for this idea, except for the fact that it produces C++ rather than C. Added: Also, I missed that you were talking about creating human readable C++. I'm not at all certain that shedskin produces C++ that is readable.
- stephth 15y agoI could live without human readable code, that was more about bypassing the need for an intermediate debugger; and readable code is a good proof that the language doesn't try to do too much. Shedskin looks like a very cool project, and it's quite fast [1], thanks for the tip. Alas, it depends on a garbage collector (not to mention a substantial library), which reduces flexibility and portability - you can't for example build a portable C++ library with it.
