PythoC is a DSL compiler that lets Python developers write C programs using Python syntax, compiling them to native machine code via LLVM IR. It supports standalone executables without requiring the Python interpreter, manual memory management with pointers and native types, and Python-driven metaprogramming at compile time. A benchmark shows PythoC-compiled code running a recursive Fibonacci calculation 40x faster than standard Python. The tool is best suited for Python developers hitting CPU performance walls, systems programmers wanting cleaner syntax, and those needing easily distributable executables.
