A tale of two decompilers

#1

The last 3 years or so I've been working on a decompiler, and it is like a compiler in complexity, engineering, and testing. But different.

In https://github.com/rocky/python-uncompyle6/wiki/pycdc-compared-with-uncompyle6 I compare two Python decompilers which I submit for your review. Of course, since I am working on one, I am not impartial. So I rely on others here to set the story straight.

Try submitting again the URL without text. "self" submission have penalty here, so it's more difficult that they get traction.

If you wish, after submitting you can add a comment like "Author here. I have been working in this for 3 years. I'm happy to answer any question."

(Also, in the text I prefer when there are 3 or 4 subtitles that split the text in the main parts.)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure I understand the part about the text in 3 or 4 subtitles. You mean section headings on the wiki page, right?

If that's what you meant that is done now. Yes, I think that helps.

Yes, section heading or something like that, like the ones you added.
