sorry I didn't mean to claim that mypyc does have better optimizations, I meant to be asking if that was possible. My superficial read was: this post about mypyc goes from type hints to compiling to "faster", and then I remembered the pypy FAQ which says type hints didn't help with that.

But if mypyc has no runtime information to go on (which pypy does have), then certainly having some type information is better than having none.
