Before everyone piles on, here is the repo owner's Note at the bottom of the page:

  This is my first ever compiler project.
  I created this compiler for the following reasons:
  
   * To learn about compiler development.
   * To build a self-compiling compiler.
   * To implement features I find interesting and cool.

Taking the name of the language of the front makes it read like Python is the subject matter.

Great work!

Next step is to make your Anil compiler in Anil.

Small complaint: I would rather you have the code examples as text on the github readme than as an image.

Obligatory mention of Shedskin¹, which is an honest to goodness Python3 to C++ transpiler.

Edit: wonder if the contributor John Nagle is that John Nagle...

I think ANIL might not be a great name. Let me know if you need clarification ;)
