Write C Code Without Learning C: The Magic of PythoC

https://towardsdatascience.com/write-c-code-without-learning-c-the-magic-of-pythoc/(towardsdatascience.com)
PythoC is a domain-specific language compiler that enables developers to write C programs using standard Python syntax. It compiles a statically-typed subset of Python code directly to native machine code via LLVM, creating standalone executables that do not require a Python interpreter to run. To achieve C-level functionality like printing to the console or timing operations, developers must import and use standard C library functions like `printf` and `clock`. A performance test using a recursive Fibonacci calculation shows a PythoC-compiled executable running over 40 times faster than its pure Python equivalent, highlighting its utility for performance-critical tasks.
