Table of contents

We're delighted to share that Codon is now available on Compiler Explorer! You can now experiment with Codon directly in your browser—no installation, setup, or configuration required. Just select "Python" from the language dropdown, "Codon" from the compiler dropdown, type or paste your Python code, and instantly see the optimized LLVM IR or native assembly it compiles down to. Give it a try below!

With this integration, you can:

  • Quickly test performance-critical snippets and compare Codon's output to C, C++, Rust or other compiler languages.
  • Explore compiler optimizations by inspecting the generated LLVM IR or assembly.
  • Share reproducible examples via Compiler Explorer’s shareable links.

Whether you’re curious about how Codon transforms Python into high-performance native code, or you want a quick playground to prototype and benchmark, Compiler Explorer is now one of the easiest ways to get hands-on with Codon.
