This is cool for sure. I think you’ll ultimately find that this can’t really be faster than modern OoO cores because python instructions are so complex. To execute them OoO or even at a reasonable frequency (e.g. to reduce combinatorial latency), you’ll need to emit type-specialized microcode on the fly, but you can’t do that until the types are known — which is only the case once all the inputs are known for python.
