Show HN: Chain – A Python-like language with native inline C++Chain (Formerly Link-Lang) is a Python-syntax scripting language that was built from scratch in C++, with one feature I haven't noticed elsewhere: an 'extern "c" { }' block where you can write real C++ directly inside a script. The runtime then compiles it, catches the .so, and shares variables with the surrounding script via shared memory. An example would be: set x = 30 extern "c" { for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { LINK_x -= 1; } } print(x) # x is now 25, mutated by the C++ block This essentially means you get Python-like ergonomics for everyday usage, while having a direct hatch to C++ when you need raw performance or a library that isn't wrapped yet, not having to leave the file or set up a separate build step.Furthermore, Chain has dynamic typing (int/float/string/char/bool/list/dict), OOP (classes, constructor, 'this', 'new'), an ('import') module system, and try/catch. It also ships with native modules for GUI (via raylib), audio, TCP networking, and OS/shell access. This means a sc
Show HN: Pyrig – One command to set up a production-ready Python projectI built pyrig because I did the same setup everytime I started a proper python project. I genuinely believe this can be a great tool, for me it has already genuinely simplified my python project development. I would love feedback on this of any kind. Below is a description of what pyrig is and does.pyrig generates and maintains a complete, production-ready Python project from a single command. It creates all the files you need — source structure, tests, CI/CD, documentation, configs — and keeps them in sync as your project evolves.uv inituv add pyriguv run pyrig initYou get: package structure with a CLI entry point, test framework with 90% coverage enforcement, GitHub Actions (CI/CD, releases, docs deployment), pre-commit hooks, MkDocs documentation site, and container support.The key difference from templates like cookiecutter is that pyrig isn't a one-shot scaffold. It's idempotent — rerun it anytime to update configs, add missing files, or sync with the latest defaults. It merges mi
Show HN: A Minimal Python CLI Implementation of Quick Share for LinuxA minimal, dependency-light Python CLI for Google Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) on Linux: send and receive. Run it on a laptop or desktop with no Bluetooth adapter, and Android phones on the same network can send files to it, or receive files from it, the same way they would with another Android device or a ChromeOS/Windows machine.

Show HN: Python Concurrency Testing with FrontrunHi HN, I'm the author of Frontrun, a Python concurrency testing library I built over the past 6 months using Claude Code and Codex. It uses bytecode tracing and various forms of monkeypatching to schedule across threads, async and multiprocessing allowing you to find and deterministically reproduce race conditions or deadlocks.It can understand Python variable assignments, SQL statements and Redis commands, which can detect races that cross abstraction boundaries, e.g. a deadlock between threading.Lock() in one thread and a SQL row lock in another.To use it, do `pip install frontrun`[1] then put the following in a pytest case: result = frontrun.explore( setup=Counter, workers=Counter.increment, count=2, ) result.assert_holds() Then use `frontrun pytest path/to/test_counter.py`.My hope is that this will allow authors of libraries which are not currently threadsafe to weather the freethreading transition more easily or to raise the bar for issue submissions involving race conditions. I'v

Show HN: Rextio – Compile Python code natively using Rust with CPython fallbacksHi, HN! Let me introduce my experimental project Rextio.While Python is widely used in fields such as AI and data analysis and offers the advantage of fast coding, it often causes some performance issues because Python is an interpreter language.Of course, there are various alternatives to address Python's speed issues. In some cases, Python code is used only for initial prototypes, and the development is re-evaluated in Rust or C/C++ upon transitioning to production.However, I'm experimentally developing this tool called Rextio as a new alternative to solve speed problems without abandoning Python.Rextio improves performance by automatically converting parts of Python hot paths that can be compiled natively (such as type-hinted static code) into Rust code and compiling them into binaries. It then falls back to the rest of the code as is and executes it using CPython. This allows for the complete preservation of the original Python logic while aiming to improve execution speed for spec
Show HN: Knotalot – a messy 1d –> 3D Python package from knotreelstumbled my way though this but managed to get together the first version of a pip installable package/python library (call it whatever tickles your fancy)it handles data and turns it into interactive 3d topology knots, .obj files too if you want to 3d print a knot of your favourite song or some such wizardry - av a blast with it.

Show HN: Sidereon: GNSS and Astrodynamics (Python, Rust, JavaScript, C, Elixir)I’ve been building Sidereon, an MIT-licensed GNSS positioning and astrodynamics engine.The submission is a browser demo running the Rust core client-side through WASM. Source for this:https://github.com/neilberkman/sidereonThe idea is one engine for both the receiver and spacecraft sides: SPP/RTK/PPP, RINEX/RTCM/NTRIP, Galileo HAS/SSR, GNSS/INS fusion, SGP4 and numerical propagation, orbit determination, conjunction screening, pass prediction, reference frames, and time systems. Python, Rust, JavaScript/WASM, C, and Elixir all use the same core.Several features came directly from open issues in widely used GNSS and astrodynamics libraries: multi-constellation ARAIM, Galileo state-space corrections, station-displacement corrections, sidereal multipath filtering, and track cleanup without an IMU.Tests compare results with RTKLIB, the 33-satellite Vallado/CelesTrak SGP4 verification corpus, pinned Skyfield frame vectors, Karney’s test set, and the published WG-C ARAIM example.
