I've used RedBaron before when building some toy languages.

Thanks for a great project!

Oh, can you give more details/links please? I'm really curious about that!
The code never became public, but I can give some details.

The idea was to create an easier C, using Python as an intermediary language.

RedBaron provided the AST and AST->Python layers.

Unfortunately, the project had to pivot, because optimising Python to be fast enough was overly difficult/unpredictable.
