I tested this with a large project that uses asyncio, Tornado and RabbitMQ and it, surprisingly, worked. Took half an hour to compile though.

Nuikta is very much magic to me. The author is alone, making steady progresses on a crazy complicated project, always communicating regularly, in an humble tone. Then you download the stuff, and it works. I'm still amazed on things like this happening. I though those events stopped existing after the 2000 bubble.

  I completely agree with your comment. It seems like most people here are bashing on this in one way or another. People talking about Cython, people talking about how they don't even use Python anymore, etc. etc. This makes me super sad, because this is seriously one of the most technically amazing projects I have seen in several years. It is a labor of love by one single guy who frequently posts status updates where he's accomplished some new thing that was thought to be impossible. It's really an inspiring story of somebody who isn't stopped by the haters, building something that he wants, that lots of people have told him is impossible or useless, but yet he still continues to make steady progress plugging away at it. I really used to identify with the average commenter on this site, and feel that there was really a time when something like this would be truly understood and appreciated... But now, rather than some Python expert explaining how incredible this is, or some compiler wizard spotting this, being interested and offering to help we have lots of sniping from uninformed people who just seem to be annoyed that this won't magically speed up their Python now Can we have a technical deep-dive on what this guy's accomplished? A few clever curious hackers tearing about the code spotting all the brilliance and sharing bits of it with us with commentary? No. Let's just all go on and on about how we should just rewrite everything in Rust. Again.

    BTW, I donated to the project, and I invite everybody with any remote interest in compiled Python to do so. It goes a long way, and it's easier than contributing if you have no C++ background.
