About:
llgo is a Go compiler built on LLVM that enables seamless interoperability with C libraries and Python environments. It compiles Go code to native machine code via LLVM, allowing direct calls to C functions without complex bindings. This tool bridges the Go ecosystem with existing C and Python codebases, facilitating high-performance integration.

Key Features:

LLVM-based compilation for optimized native code
Direct C interoperability without wrappers
Python integration for mixed-language projects
Support for Go's concurrency model with low-level control

Use Cases:

Integrating Go with legacy C libraries in performance-critical applications
Building hybrid Go-Python systems for data processing or AI workflows
Developing systems software where Go meets C ecosystem tools

Alternatives:

cgo – Standard Go tool for C interop; llgo uses LLVM for potentially better optimization and native linking
Gccgo – GCC-based Go compiler; llgo focuses on LLVM backend and C/Python integration
