It'd be interesting to write code in a concise, easy to learn/grok language and then transpile to a faster systems language and recompute the PAIN score. I spent a few months last year pursuing that approach (py2many on github). We'd need a stdlib that works across languages for the approach to be successful. nimpylib and similar libraries in other languages are a step in that direction. Alternatively, the python stdlib itself could be rewritten in python and transpiled to other languages. Perhaps it'd help alternative python implementations in terms of compatibility.
