- Title: Compilation and strong typing of the Python language

- Position: developer
- Duration: internship (3-6 months) / alternation / employment
- Reference : Offer-2023-Python.Compilation
Description
Cython+ (https://cython.plus/) is an experimental extension to the Cython compiler originally developed by Nexedi that demonstrated that it was possible to speed up the execution of the Python language by a factor of 100 if types and a concurrent execution model were introduced. Cython+ also demonstrates that it is possible to remove the dependency on the CPython runtime, which opens the way to applications in embedded computing and real-time computing.
A presentation of the Cython+ project is available here: https://erp5js.nexedi.net/P-CYP-Presentation.December.2022?portal_skin=Slide
Nexedi is now looking to consolidate its experience with Cython+ in the form of a Python compiler based on the Python3 syntax and on an already developed concurrent continuations library. We believe that it is possible to reach a first version of the compiler in a few months, provided that we rely on the compilation functions (AST) already present in CPython.
We are looking for a candidate interested in programming language design, with experience in Python or C++ development, and an affinity for open source software. Knowledge of concurrent execution, language design, compilation, type systems, or static analysis will always be useful and welcome.
