Why I Built Wyn: A Programming Language That Compiles to C

I’ve spent years writing Python for DevOps tooling and Go for services. Python is a joy to write but painfully slow for anything compute-heavy. Go is fast but verbose — error handling alone accounts for a third of my code. Rust is powerful but the learning curve is brutal for the kind of tools I build daily. So I built Wyn. Wyn compiles to C, produces 49KB binaries, builds in under a second, and has a syntax that feels like Python with types. No garbage collector, no VM, no runtime. Just native code.
