A small recommendation for these release pages would be to link to the tag in whatever source host you're using! I just want to see the code.
If you used pip install nutika -U - on both mac and linux, it doesn't find an installation candidate for me. pip install -U " https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/archive/develop.zip " works on both currently. But this does not get "nutika" on the path. Perhaps someone here is more familiar with the installation system and can comment?

And use "python -m nuitka", not "nuitka" alone.
"-m" is a very important option in python that solves a lot of path problems.
Nuitka looks like a traditional ahead-of-time compiler using SSA form[0] and is written in Python. I’d be interested in seeing performance comparisons with PyPy, which uses the second Futamura protection and is written in a dialect of Python.

How is this more compatible than just python? Since it requires libpython so you anyway need to have python installed on the target machine? Also is this actually faster than just python? I tried it out with some bad expensive looping using lists with python3.9 and it was 100ms slower (1.3sec vs 1.4sec). Just in general why should I be using Nuitka?
Wow, this got my attention. I use Python for web application development. A 2-3x speedup would be very interesting for higher-load deployments.
The 2-3x improvements are on specific micro benchmarks.
This project is super impressive. It makes me wonder why there's not a similarly mature JavaScript AOT compiler implementation for use in game development or other places where you want performance better than a VM and you're not allowed to JIT. A small recommendation for these release pages would be to link to the tag in whatever source host you're using! I just want to see the code.

There is, for example https://bellard.org/quickjs/

The point isn't just not having a JIT. You can run v8 without a JIT. The point is good performance without a JIT.
