    Like cython?

    Its a whole lot of magic. I many times have to look at the generated c code because its doing something weird especially when generating c++

      Sorry I removed the old message because I thought was not interesting.

      I mean a compiler python to binaries, focused on performance optimization.

      Currently with cython you compile to c and then compile to binaries.

      Python ecosystem has become so complex and so widely used that a dedicated compiler would have its uses, and could do a lot in further optimizing performances
