#2Question for the OP seeing as this is a Show HN: how does this compare to Nim (https://nim-lang.org/)?

#3I am working on something similar, although with a different focus (mobile coding): https://github.com/stefanhaustein/tantilla
P.S.: Might make sense to try to get to a common type-safe language spec?

#4This looks cool. Is there anything specific you're trying to do with Mys that another language didn't do? Nim comes to mind as being in a similar space.
Small nitpick about the title: Python is strongly typed.

#5Given that the OP is the github project owner, are you aware of https://chocopy.org/ ?
You might want to also look at Shedskin, https://github.com/shedskin/shedskin which converts implicitly typed Python programs to C++

#7Strongly typed? You mean statically typed?

#8> Data races will occur when multiple threads uses a variable at the same time, which will likely make the program crash.
... or let the attacker execute arbitrary code.

I would call Python untyped

#10Question for the OP seeing as this is a Show HN: how does this compare to Nim ( https://nim-lang.org/ )?
It's a wide question, and I don't have a good answer. One obvious difference is the syntax. I prefer Python's syntax over Nim's, but at the same time I find Python slow sometimes and hard to use in embedded systems. I'm aiming to create something similar to Nim's toolchain to address that.
