Would be great if they'd also fix Python's dreadful non-threadsafe C API. The GIL and all the global variables impede multiple independent interpreter instance performance.


I don't understand it. Am I supposed to be able to create standalone executables with this? How?


Yes. You can compile to .exe files.

Thank you.


It's similar to Facebook's HipHop PHP to C++ transpiler (HPHPc). It was deprecated in favor of HHVM JIT technology.
