About:
Coconut is a functional programming language that compiles to Python. It enhances Python with powerful features like pattern matching, algebraic data types, and full immutability support. This allows developers to write more expressive, concise, and reliable code while leveraging the entire Python ecosystem.

Key Features:

Pattern matching and destructuring
Algebraic data types and immutability
Haskell-style function composition
Seamless Python interoperability
Tail call optimization

Use Cases:

Data processing pipelines requiring complex pattern matching
Writing more robust and maintainable Python applications
Functional programming education within Python ecosystem
Concurrent and parallel programming tasks

Alternatives:

Python – Coconut is a strict superset of Python, adding functional programming features while maintaining full compatibility
Haskell – Haskell is a pure functional language with stricter type systems, while Coconut provides FP features in a familiar Python environment
