Exploring the Trade-Off between Language Simplicity and Execution Efficiency: A Study Using Crython and LLVM
2025
Contemporary programming languages often pose a challenge due to either complex syntax or performance limitations, especially in dynamically typed environments. The language proposed in this paper, Crython, aims to mitigate these challenges by offering a beginner-friendly, Python-like syntax combined with performance that approaches that of C. It is built with a custom lexer, employs a Pratt parser for expression handling, and uses a Recursive Descent parser for statements. Code generation is powered by LLVM, leve…
