Yes. It is a bit of a head scratcher why people would be going to enormous effort to transpile to an execution environment that is as gimped as Python's. I use Groovy pretty much as "python for the JVM", and a big reason for that is simply that Python's runtime limitations are unacceptable to me from a basic engineering standpoint (primarily, GIL). I guess Python's ecosystem is big enough now that the selling point of "you can use all your favorite libraries" is enough of a drawcard?
