inferred typing

[Gabriel Zachmann]

Thanks for your responses.

Both Boo and Starkiller sound quite interesting.
Boo seems to have some momentum, but what about Starkiller, once the PhD is
finished?

Also, both are python compilers.
I was hoping for something more like Hotspot for Java, i.e.,
something which compiles parts of the python script that turn out not to be
really dynamic at run-time and that are executed a lot.

Anything along those lines?

In addition, I am not sure that any effort that is not integrated into
mainstream Python will have a real chance to achieve widespread use ...

Best regards,
Gabriel.
