LPython 0.21 Released For Alpha-Stage Python AOT Compiler


As the first new release since last September, LPython 0.21 has been released for this alpha-stage Python ahead-of-time compiler written in C++

LPython remains focused on providing "the best possible performance" especially for numerical use-cases, cross-platform compatibility, and hopes to be able to eventually transform Python code over to C++ and Fortran or other languages. It will be interesting to see how well its performance ultimately compares once supporting a broad enough range of Python language features.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
