Py2many

py2many transpiler

py2many is a python -> {c++14, rust, go, julia, kotlin, dart, nim} transpiler written in python.

Recent improvements

• IntEnum/IntFlag support: rust/go/nim support it. The other languages need work.
• Integer overflow mitigation: most languages now use inferred types as opposed to defering to lanugage specific type inference (e.g. C++ auto).
• Streamline function call dispatch and remove the copy-pasta from pyrs

Future Plans

There are several transpiler projects that once had a large mindshare, but have petered out after several years of inactivity.

• grumpy
• rusthon
• py2nim
• py2jl

among others. Trying to learn from their experiences and finding potential collaborators is going to take time.

In the meanwhile, I’m thinking of a few potential directions:

• Plugin system to write user defined function maps. Look for small_dispatch_map in the code for examples.
• Map python module system to other languages
• Write a small runtime. Golang doesn’t have an ergonomic range(3, 9, 2) for example.

Are there other features you think py2many should prioritize? Do drop me a line.
