> prototyped in Python, then ported to C++

This need to rewrite, of course, is what Julia is trying to avoid. My workflow is exactly the same, and I’d love to be able to write code in a high-level language like Python and then use that directly instead of having to rewrite.

However, in my case the reason for rewriting isn’t just performance, but also to be able to build compiled binaries. Julia aims to be as high-level as Python but faster - is there a language that’s as high-level as Python but AOT-compiled?
