My Psil-to-Python compiler (which I can't resist but call "psilc") can compile a lot of nontrivial code now. The performance improvement over the interpreter is about a
hundred times faster, which is great for working on Project Euler stuff. I've still got some bugs and things that need work, mostly to do with the funny Python scoping rules (Python 3.x gets a
nonlocal
keyword to express some things you can't in 2.x), tail recursion, and a minor thing with the annoying Python
print
statement (
print
will be an actual function in Python 3.x, so that problem will go away).
I've pushed up all the latest code to the
psil repository on Github. It's pretty rough right now, and tries to run the compiler by default. The
Compile = True
switch near the top currently controls whether it runs the compiler or the interpreter.
