Summary
Ironkernel is a Python DSL (Domain Specific Language) that allows developers to write NumPy-like element-wise expressions in Python, which then compile to parallel Rust code for execution outside Python's GIL (Global Interpreter Lock). The system automatically utilizes all CPU cores via Rayon and provides Go-style channels and select statements for building concurrent pipelines. The tool is designed to combine Python's expressibility with Rust's performance, offering zero serialization overhead and parallel execution capabilities.
