SEA
Static bytecode simulator for creating dependency/dependant based experimental bytecode format for CPython.
Example
a = random()
if a >= 5.0:
print('a is too big')
a = 5.0
elif a <= 2.0:
print('a is too small')
a *= 2
for counter in range(int(a)):
if counter > 4:
print('up to 4')
break
print(counter)
print('done')
Would normally compile to this

However with basic SEA, it is getting compiled to this

And with the IR mode, it even supports basic control flow operations accross blocks;
