Re: pyrex as Prothon standard extension language

I can't sign in. So I'll reply here for now.

I think it would be counter-productive to try to adapt Pyrex-as-code as 
opposed to the Pyrex-as-idea.

Here's how I would implement the idea if I were you:

  * write a single parser that generates abstract syntax trees. This is 
the right thing for a variety of reasons and I've been meaning to 
suggest it for a while.

  * expose the syntax trees to Prothon

  * in Prothon, write two compilers that both work from the same syntax 
trees.

     1. AST -> C

     2. AST -> Bytecode

  * reuse the underlying runtime as much as possible.
