I'm with you. I thought this was going to be an article about Numba.

I think a more pedantic way to describe what I mean is:

"What if we could compile Python into raw native code *without having a Python interpreter*?"

The key distinguishing feature of this compiler is being able to make standalone, cross-platform native binaries from Python code. Numba will fallback to using the Python interpreter for code that it can't jit.
