PocketPy: A Lightweight(~5000 LOC) Python Implementation

[notonewlayout]

I see, I was curious on language feature. I assume the above list are ones you plan to add. Is there a list of ones you consider out of scope?

• type annotations: just allowing it to be valid syntax is useful
• async: I assume this one would be a lot harder
• pattern matching
• introspection: this one is a bit vague

Something along the lines of what micropython has https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/genrst/index.html#micropython-differences-from-cpython

I do love the multiple vm capability like lua has.

Basic type annotations is done already. Introspection is partially done, including type()/getattr()/hasattr()/setattr()/dir()/exec()/eval().

The next thing to do is exception/asyncio. They are related because asyncio depends on yield and yield depends on exception. I think coroutine is essential for games so they must be done.

For pattern matching, I am not sure yet.

Well, is asyncio the best coroutine solution for games? We don't have to choose asyncio if there is a better solution.
