pseudo

Thank you. The goal of Pseudo is to create idiomatic and readable code in the target language, it should look exactly as a human wrote it in order to be useful for bootstrapping codebases in other languages or maintaining code in several languages(basically for cases when developers would continue working on the generated code) Haxe's output isn't alien or too-machine-translated-like, but it's not optimized for that goal too. Pseudo's intermediate format is `pseudo AST`, and it's supposed to be a target for various tools: compilers, parser generators etc. That would make it even possible to convert between different languages for the same codebase(I don't recommend it, but it can be useful). As far as I am aware, Haxe isn't meant to be a compiler target. Pseudo makes it a lot easier to add support for a new language or a library. It's wr

You apparently missed the original.py files in each of those directories. Here is fib: https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/blob/master/examples/f... There is also fib.py, which seems to be the Python output of the original.py input. The other examples are better to look at in this regard. I believe the yaml file is either an intermediary or just another output format.

I don't get this. Heres Fibonacci[1] in only 74 lines of YAML, or how about some kind of football CLI program[2] in only ~600 lines of YAML. I've got no idea why anyone would use this, or why the hell YAML was chosen to represent the AST. Edit: Not to crap over the authors project, it seems to produce quite neat output[3][4], it's just writing 600 lines of unreadable YAML to generate a ~32 line Python program seems a bit pointless. 1. https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/blob/master/examples/f... 2. https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/blob/master/examples/f... 3. https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/blob/master/examples/f... 4. https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/blob/master/examples/f...

Author here. Pseudo (and Pseudo-Python) are still in early stages, so I'd love some feedback, ideas and critique :) Here are some examples of not-trivial programs translated automatically with Pseudo: Reading and parsing a file with soccer stats https://github.com/alehander42/pseudo/tree/master/examples/f...
