## What it is
Peregrine is a compiled systems programming language written in C++ that aims to combine Python-like syntax with C-like performance, compiling to clean C++ (with an experimental JavaScript backend). The project has been discontinued, with the author recommending Mojo instead.

## Use cases
- compile python-like code to fast native binaries
- learn how to build a compiler from scratch
- write systems programs without a garbage collector
- transpile a python-like language to javascript
- explore an alternative to c with simpler syntax

## When to choose
- you want to study compiler implementation in C++
- you need a minimal python-syntax language that compiles to C++
- you are contributing to or forking the language

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready language - the project is discontinued
- you want stable tooling, libraries, or long-term support
- you should use Mojo, the recommended successor

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: compiler, programming-language
- domain: programming-languages, compilers, developer-tools
- platform: cpp, cli
- tags: systems-programming, python-syntax, compiled-language, discontinued, work-in-progress, linux, macos
