>Well, I imagine one reason is that there are exactly zero static call sites in Python. Are there in Smalltalk? >There is just very little you can learn from parsing Python code, you need runtime state to understand some functions. It is potentially as difficult as Lisp, and with a much larger set of primitives to cover. Yes, but Clojure, a "Lisp", is supported no? If in that case it's the JVM that provides extra runtime intelligence, they could make it support Jython instead of CPython.
