We can compile the Python interpreter (CPython) using Zig. Zig is a systems programming language that can not only compile Zig, but also compile C/C++.

1. Download Zig

2. Run

   bash compile.sh
   

3. Run the python interpreter

   ./cpython/python
   

   You should see:

   ➜  zigpython git:(main) ✗ ./cpython/python 
   Python 3.12.0a3+ (heads/main:532aa4e4e0, Dec 18 2022, 21:02:08) [Clang 15.0.3 ([email protected]:ziglang/zig-bootstrap.git 85033a9aa569b41658404d0e on linux
