   It may not be a bad candidate for writing the rust part in python and then running it through py2many to generate the rust.

   The idea that py2many is pursuing is to avoid having to deal with two languages and interfacing via python C-API. In other words you write your C++ or Rust with the python syntax, fixed width, signed/unsigned integer types and static t

   I've been having fun transpiling python floats into rust f64 and c++ double last few months. Sometimes the rust way of doing things is very detail oriented and breaks the smooth flow of thought to code that python enables. Probably bes

   The next cool thing is not "run python and 30 other languages online". It'll be write python, translate to other languages and then run them online. We're at 7. https://github.com/adsharma/py2many&#x

   Python has a PR problem: * That it's a dynamically typed language * That it's not a serious language like C or C++, suitable for writing a 50 line throwaway script I'd like to convince people that both statements are false. B

   The transpiler could in theory generate code in the native language. You can see for yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27032399 Please file bugs/issues if something isn't working.

   People write raft papers with pseudo code or some hard to comprehend systems language. I've always wondered why there isn't a Jepsen tested python implementation with lots of github stars. Here is mine: https://github.c

    I wrote a python to rust transpiler (py2many) also as a fun project. I won't be surprised if writing a db in python actually becomes viable some years down the road due to the awesome tooling and the idea -> code uninterrupted flow

    For me the issue manifested as a 10 sec latency to format a Julia file using Format.jl Solved via flags to disable JIT and brought it down to a couple of secs. Native binary would be much nicer.

    If you have python code and trying to generate equivalent rust for performance, please give py2many a try. Looking for feedback. Also experimental support for pyo3 extensions. But really the main idea of the project is static python and com

    I think there are a number of messages here: * Java is slowing our tools down * amalgamation sqlite style is showing the benefits of tightly written, standalone good old C. * By extension: monorepos are introducing complexity, since

    If you prefer python syntax, you can code in python and transpile? Py2many supports nim. I wonder if there is sufficient interest in having a python stdlib compatible library for nim.

    @fdej: what successor to ctypes did you have in mind? Other than the names (I prefer i8 over c_int8, but easy to work around) and lack of ergonomic interop with python ints, are there other issues you're aware of?

    Please take a look at py2many which does this. Looking for feedback.

    The distribution of popularity of the features is not uniform. My intention is to carefully look at the intersection of relatively less used features and features that make python slow/inefficient and exclude them from the supported su

    Great. Thank you. I'll remove the "is" operator from the supported subset and perhaps rewrite the commonly used "a is None" to idiomatic code in the target language.

    python has a lot of features. But people use a small subset of it. So instead of supporting all of python, why not stick to the small subset that people actually want to use to solve a problem?

    Why not transpile python to JS instead of running an interpreter?

    There was a i32 -> f64 type cast problem fixed by this PR https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/pull/204 Also added this benchmark as a test case, so we don't regress.

    Thanks for the link. I'm thinking along the same lines and might derive some inspiration from Haxe on how to evolve python syntax to support features like GADT and FP that can be easily transpiled to other languages. It looks like Haxe

    Python's pattern matching is not the same as Ocaml's. It's a statement, not an expression. But I like your line of thinking. Create a variant of python with ML like features without sacrificing compatibility too much. An effo
