#3I like the idea of a compiled language that takes the look and ethos of Python (or at least the "looks like pseudocode, but runs"-ethos)
I don't think the article gives much of an impression on how SPy is on that front.

#5If you want different parts of your code to be a statically typed Python lookalike Cython is a mature option

#6This seems to be going for a somewhat similar goal to Mojo [0] - anyone here who used both and is willing to offer a comparison?

#7Looks very interesting!
I remember chatting with one of the creators of PyPy (not the author of TFA) a number of years ago at HPI. He had just given a talk about how RPython was used in PyPy development, and I was fascinated.
To me, it seemed completely obvious that RPython itself seemed like a really interesting standalone language, but he would have none of it.
Whenever I suggested that RPython might have advantages over PyPy he insisted that PyPy was better and, more strangely, just as fast. Which was sort of puzzling, because the reason given for RPython was speed. When I then suggested that they could (after bootstrap) just use PyPy without the need for RPython, he insisted that PyPy was too slow for that to be feasible.
The fact that both of these statements could not really be true at the same time did not register.

You can have that today with Nim.

#9Good level of detail (for me) to understand (some things).

It's still pretty confusing: Uunchecking the box doesn't seem to do much (is it actually unchecked when you click it? There's still a checkmark); you still have to click Accept to see the text; what are you accepting?
