It sucks that there is no way to use cranelift from outside of rust to create your own toy language. I would have loved to use cranelift in a toy compiler, but I am not ready to pay the Rust price of complexity.

As far as I know, you should be able to generate textual CLIF files and feed them to Cranelift: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/main/crane...

Would using cranelift frontend[1] with PyO3[2] be an option for you?
