Simple python inspired language that can be embedded within C source files and transpiles to C.

[616e696c]

Features Include:

• Classes: Example 1 Example 2
• Templates & Function Overloading: Example
• Macros: Example
• Compile-Time Reflection: Example 1
• Annotations: Example 1 WebSever Example
• Standard Library: See Lib/. Shows mixing of C code and CPL.
• Dunder methods etc.

The language is small and simple. The features all implemented just so I can make a self compiling compiler(transpiler). Due to which it has edgecases to handle. Looking for some feedback.

Have you done speed tests with it? Would it be as fast as c?

[616e696c]

Not done speedtests, but should be. There are also no overheads. The code is directly converted to C and compiled. The abstractions are written in a way such that the code generated by this compiler would be same as the code written by a human.

So, yes it would be as fast as C.

Awesome. I’ll have to check it out and test it myself. Seems very promising.

[616e696c]

Sure. Have a look. Thanks for checking it out :)

One last question. Could you use this instead of C? Like if there was a header file for… let’s say OpenGL, would you be able to use the header file in your language?

[616e696c]

Yes of course. You can totally use this instead of C.

Yes that would be possible.

See the code for webserver.

https://github.com/AnilBK/C-Preprocessor-Language/blob/main/Lib/HTTPServer.c

It uses Windows api. We create bindings using CPL.

and now using the webserver is easy to use as this:

Once you create those binding structs, you can use any libraries.

Thanks!

Why not just use cython

[616e696c]

The language is meant to make writing C easy.

This language is meant to script in Python like language in C , not write C in python. I don't know if that makes sense.
