Nuitka: a Python compiler
This project looks completely misguided. The talk focused on the trivialities of mapping Python to C++ rather than on the interesting problems to be encountered when trying to optimize Python while maintaining its extremely dynamic semantics. Also the benchmarking effort is laughable; pystone is not to be taken seriously (only exercises a tiny part of the language) and pybench does microbenchmarks, which are optimized away. You should try the "real-world" benchmarks from the PyPy and Unladen Swallow projects. And what is the size of the generated code? (E.g. how big would the binary for the entire standard library be?) In your blog, please use less boring subjects than "version x.y.z released". ~ Guido van RossumFind Guido's quote in the first comment.https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/nuitka-the-pyt...
