Would the migration had been easier if you could "compile" Python? As in, interpreted/JITed languages are harder to maintain when apis change because you can't rebuild it and see if it builds or not? I've never written any serious amount of interpreted/JITed code, unless you count C#, which i wouldn't even though it runs on the .NET CLR
