SPy: a new companion static language for Python; thoughts?

Hello,

Do any of you follow SPy (https://github.com/spylang/spy), the new statically compiled variant of Python created by Antonio Cuni?

I have been looking into it recently and became convinced it could have a significant impact on the Python ecosystem, including for numerical computing and libraries like NumPy. I wrote up my thoughts in a post entitled “SPy: a vision for its impact on the Python community”:

I would be very interested to hear what this community thinks, both about SPy itself and about the ideas in the post.
