I think it's funny how it's confusing from the first paragraph
- ForceBru 11mo agoReading the next sentence clears the confusion: > SPy is not a "compiler for Python". There are features of the Python language which will never be supported by SPy by design. Don't expect to compile Django or FastAPI with SPy.
- AmazingTurtle 11mo agoYeah but then don't say that SPy is a (interpreter and) compiler in the first place? Just say it's a interpreter.
- yorwba 11mo agoIt is a compiler. It is not a compiler for Python, because there are valid Python programs it can't compile and isn't intended to compile.
- Hasnep 11mo agoYou can think of it like this: SPy is a compiler. SPy is not a compiler for OCaml. SPy is not a compiler for COBOL. SPy is not a compiler for Python.
- amelius 11mo agoTo make it more confusing: SPy is not spyware (at least, I hope)
