MLC-Python

🛠️ MLC is a Python-first toolkit for building ML compilers, runtimes, and compound AI systems. It enables you to define nested data structures (like compiler IRs) as roundtrippable text formats in Python syntax, with structural comparison for unit-testing and zero-copy C++ interop when needed.
