I love how many python to native/gpu code projects there are now. It's nice to see a lot of competition in the space. An alternative to this one could be Taichi Lang [0] it can use your gpu through Vulkan so you don't have to own Nvidia hardware. Numba [1] is another alternative that's very popular. I'm still waiting on a Python project that compiles to pure C (unlike Cython [2] which is hard to port) so you can write homebrew games or other embedded applications.

I would rather that Python catches up with Common Lisp tooling in JIT/AOT in the box, instead of compilation via C.

This is a horribly outdated take and ignores many of the benefits Python has brought to so many fields. At best it's elitist, at worst egotistical and based upon outdated interpretations.

Also, why so divisive? There's really no need for the deviciveness.
