If all we do is write Pythonic code (especially now that "Pythonic" seems to include type hints), what's the benefit of the highly dynamic CPython virtual machine?
Surely a faster VM, or even an ahead-of-time compiler, would be possible if we give up on some dynamism? Is that a direction the community should take?
(I think Guido's answer would be no, based on his apparent dislike of existing "Python compiler" projects such as Nuitka.)
