Next Deliverable

[certik]

For the next deliverable:

• [ ] fastGPT implementation in LPython (https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2409)
• [ ] Make sure LPython is at least as fast as C++ for every simple benchmark (currently we have one or two where we are slower)
• [ ] Ensure structs and pointers are rock solid, to be able to implement a simple calculator app and represent the AST in memory using structs; this will ensure that LPython can be used as a general programming language
  • [ ] https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2428
  • [ ] https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2429
  • [ ] https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2427
• [ ] Ensure the @cpythoncall works with the LLVM backend by refactoring it into an ASR->ASR pass, similar to how the new symbolic ASR->ASR pass works: https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2470
• [ ] https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2259
