Peregrine - A new programming language with python like syntax but as fast as c(currently under devolopment)

#showdev #python #programming #c

TL;DR

Peregrine is basically a programming language with python-like syntax but it is statically typed and as fast as c made by me and my friends. It is currently under development. Repo:- https://github.com/peregrine-lang/Peregrine

About

If you know python then you most probably know that python is very easy to use but also very slow. Which is kind of annoying. To solve this me and my friends are working on a new programming language named peregrine (which is named after a bird) and their syntax is very similar. Peregrine gets transcompiled to c thus allowing it to run as fast as c. Please note that this language is still not complete. I hope you will love it

Benchmark

I have told many times that peregrine is as fast as c and to prove it I will show you some benchmark

Here I calculated the Fibonacci series recursively from 0 to 40 and python(left side) took 32secs whereas peregrine (right side) took only 1sec thus making it 32 times faster. Also, you can see that its syntax is very similar to that of python. For comparison here is a benchmark with c

And as you can see that peregrine is as fast as c(both took 1sec)

Have you heard of Julia programming language?

If you want to succeed, please have a look at why Julia Programming language has not yet overtaken Python or why Python has not fully overtaken Java.

All the best for your future!

Hope Swallow swallows Python. 😉 👍
