It's not easy to define what my point was :-) I try again, but the following questions don't cover all the points: - What are the dynamic features of Python that you use in your code? (excluding ones that can can be done with a good static template system). - Are them worth the decrease in running speed? - Is it good for Python to become two languages in one, a fast statically typed one and a dynamically one, like pypy shows to like with RPython, or is it better to go the way of the Boo language, that (while being mostly static) is mixing dynamic and static typing in the same code, but that must rely on a very complex virtual machine to work? - Or maybe is it better to find other ways like CLips ones, that allow to mix dynamic and static features, generally keeping programs fast enough (Lisp-like syntax can lead to high performance too, as shown by the Stalin Scheme compiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin_(Scheme_implementation) ).
