In that case forget any of your other claims. Making any Python code
faster is useful in itself. But the problems are well-known.
How do you turn:
a = b + c
into native code for example? (Since this can mean myriad different
things, which you will not know until runtime, sometimes not until the
line before. And not even then if 'a=b+c' is a run-time argument of
'exec()'.
And one big advantage of Python is being able to try different things
and run them instantly. It sounds like you will be using a complicated
tool-chain performing a series of transformations, or does that all
happen instantly too?
