• learn programming in cantonese
• write python extension libraries in cantonese
• compile cantonese code to native binaries with llvm
• define custom syntax with macros
• run cantonese scripts from the command line

When to choose

• you speak cantonese and want a fun or educational way to code
• you want to interoperate with python while writing in cantonese
• you want to experiment with a novel non-english programming language

When to avoid
