Hi folks,
I thought some of you might find this interesting [link redacted]

If this is a legit post, can you please elaborate on just _why_ we
would find it interesting? I'm leery of clicking random links like
that without at least some indication. It could be some cool Python
library, or it could be something relating to music, or it could be a
malicious site ready to compromise my browser and your Yahoo account
was compromised to send spam.
Legitimate request, like some I have made of others. Since I trust Mark:
"Cello is a GNU99 C library which brings higher level programming to C.
Interfaces allow for structured design
Duck Typing allows for generic functions
Exceptions control error handling
Constructors/Destructors aid memory management
Syntactic Sugar increases readability
C Library means excellent performance and integration
...Cello is licensed under BSD3."
Partly inspired by Python, including this:
/* "with" automatically closes file at end of scope. */
with (file in open($(File, NULL), "prices.bin", "wb"))) {
...
}
An interesting question is whether it could be used to convert or
rewrite Python to C.
