(Mark F., how does the above match how you feel about this?) I would like collaboration, but from a technical perspective I think this would be much more involved than just dumping the AST to an IR and generating some code from there. For vector expressions I think sharing code would be

As far as I understand, the goal is not to handle arbitrary Python code, because this would become too difficult as is not necessary when you have a simple math oriented function which you want to speed up. The idea is to create something similar to http://www.enthought.com/~ischnell/paper.html
