Python in the browser, precompiled for speed. Transcrypt started out as a personal repo, owned by Jacques de Hooge. As the project caught on and the number of people contributing issues, ideas and code grew, the repo was transferred to the QQuick organization, to be able to form a developer team on GitHub. There's a simple parallel between the Python and the JavaScript code. In combination with the use of source maps, this enables efficient debugging. Also, code can be tested from the command prompt using stubs. Lightning-fast JavaScript 6 code: call caching, for-loop optimization, in-line JavaScript etc. Integrated static typechecking and minification at the tip of a command-line switch. Also runs on top of node.js. Extensive documentation with many code examples. Apache 2.0 license. Pip-install and go! Seamless integration with the universe of high-quality web-oriented JavaScript libraries, rather than the desktop-oriented Python ones.
Features
- Precompiled into highly readable, efficient JavaScript, downloads kB's rather than MB's
- Multiple inheritance, optional operator overloading, metaclasses, async/await, properties, decorators, hierarchical modules etc.
- Seamless integration with the universe of high-quality web-oriented JavaScript libraries, rather than the desktop-oriented Python ones
- Pure Python 3.7 syntax, using Python's native parser
- Debug directly from Python sourcecode, through integrated sourcemaps
- Generates JavaScript for humans, resembling the Python source line by line, optionally annotated with source line numbers
- Lightning fast JavaScript 6 code: call caching, for-loop optimization, in-line JavaScript etc.
