This looks very similar to Cython, which can also compile .py files without modification and is more mature at the moment. It seems that Nuitka wants to do a few things differently, though. The biggest difference is probably that Nuitka wants to use type inference + hints instead of explicit declarations, which make Cython code incompatible with CPython but give you more control and C interoperability.

Edit: Thanks, no more interference!

I've never heard about type inTERference, but I'm sure that if something like that existed, it would have little to do with type inference which you probably meant :)

interference - obstruction, collision

inference - deduction, derivation

I imagine that type interference might be what an advocate of dynamically typed languages sees in statically typed languages.

No. Actually nuikta can take your core "as-is". It doesn't need any work of your part at all. And it embeds dependancies as well, without any change needed for them either. That's the game changer : take your Python program, call nuikta, get a standalone exe.

Cython supports type inference, in the form of `infer_types` which can be used either as a compiler directive or a decorator (which means you can pick and choose, and control, when and where type inference is allowed to occur).
