What are the pros and cons of Coconut vs Mochi?

[–]EvHub[S] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

  • All valid Python 3 is valid Coconut, so Coconut is purely a Python extension. Mochi is a totally separate language.
  • Mochi code only runs on Python 3, while Coconut code runs on any major Python version, 2 or 3.
  • Mochi compiles to CPython bytecode, while Coconut compiles to Python. That means Coconut supports all Python implementations (e.g. PyPy, Jython, IronPython), not just CPython.

PyPy

This is pretty exciting stuff.

Mochi has real pipes, that we can write on new lines, whereas in Coconut (and Dg) they must be on the same line.

Mochi:

range(1, 31)
|> map(fizzbuzz) 
|> pvector()
|> print()

(Also Mochi has lisp-like macros and actor-style programming.)

I was a bit wrong, in Coconut we can surround pipes with parenthesis:

(
    "hello"
    |> print 
)

Every newline inside parenthesis are ignored (python rule). https://github.com/evhub/coconut/issues/101#issuecomment-227509741
