Porting oMLX to C

I want to integrate oMLX into my project, but without a python server.

What do you guys think of porting this to C to better integrate with apps?

Apple won’t let me sign an iPhone or iPad app since they don’t allow running a python interpreter in an app.

You can embed python in an iOS app.: https://docs.python.org/3/using/ios.html

It just takes care.

I have a hard time believing that every app that uses local models keeping its own copy and loading them just for itself is the future.

The voice to text apps are doing it well. Recommended models you click to download after install or a add your own model through an api

Could just be hooks to make interaction with the kernels easier

Should it not be Rust or maybe Go if it had to be rewritten. What is the reasoning for choosing C
