Pycopy 3.5.4 - a minimalist and memory-efficient Python dialect
8 projects | /r/Python | 21 Mar 2021

So, unlike MicroPython itself, which was started by another guy, micropython-lib was started and largely done by me (but initially contributed it to the micropython project, yeah). I continue that work in https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib

In this version, improvements in native types subclassing support. Pycopy standard library, https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib, also sees further development and improvements.

Thanks. Except it's not mine, but CPython2's stdlib module (written by many people) ported to Python3.5. What's mine is Pycopy stdlib ucompiler module: https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib/tree/master/ucompiler, written by me from scratch based on the experience with CPython2's module (I figured I'd have better time writing one from scratch than cleaning up CPython2's module).

I'm disappointed that my own IntercalScript didn't make the list.
Does the number of keywords really matter?

If someone thinks that having only 14 reserved keywords is important, you should show them IntercalScript.

Intercalscript. I'm only partially joking. It actually has some pretty amazing features and it compiles to JS.
What are some simple but powerful compile-to-JS languages I might not know about, or that you are working on (not Elm, Reason, PureScript, or ClojureScript)?

IntercalScript
Seeing all these generics groupies huddling in this thread is quite hilarious to me. It takes me about 3 hours to write a generator that can spit out 3000 lines of code implementing 60 api calls.

Oh my God, and I thought this question from the IntercalScript FAQ was an original joke.

Sounds like some languages need to implement Automatic Semicolon Deletion.

The IntercalScript compiler was originally written in Javascript, then rewritten in IntercalScript.
