pyalt 0.1.0

First release of pyalt — a small compiled language with Python-like syntax.
It compiles .pya source files to standalone native executables, or to
extension modules importable from Python. There is no GIL: parallel for
distributes a loop across CPU cores, and writes to shared state inside a
parallel loop are rejected at compile time.

Highlights

• Types, classes, exceptions, modules, dict/set/list, f-strings;
  function parameters are annotated, everything else is inferred
• parallel for with compile-time race detection
• Conservative mark-sweep garbage collector
• Compiled executables are ~200 KB and run without Python installed
• 216 tests, CI green on Windows and Linux
• Benchmarks (Monte Carlo backtest, 10M iterations, outputs verified
  byte-identical to CPython): 62x serial, 347x with parallel for;
  Numba comparison included in the README — it wins by 15–25% at steady
  state on that workload

Installation (Windows x64)

1. Download pyalt-0.1.0-windows-x64.zip below and unzip anywhere,
   e.g. C:\pyalt
2. Run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1 to add
   bin\ to your user PATH (or call bin\pyalt.exe directly), then open
   a new terminal
3. Building programs requires a C compiler on the machine: MSVC Build
   Tools, gcc, or clang — detected automatically

See GETTING_STARTED.md inside the zip. Linux/macOS: run from source
(python3 pyalt.py run prog.pya); the test suite passes on Ubuntu in CI,
but it is less field-tested than Windows.

Known limitations

No class inheritance, tuples, closures, or None/Optional yet. int is
64-bit (not arbitrary precision) and strings are UTF-8 bytes — see
"Semantic differences from Python" in the README before porting code.
