I'm following them since their first mention in HN in 2023, particularly for Wasm support in compilation. Still not much output, unfortunately.

Very neat but what an Albatross Python is, especially in the AI era. It is clearly the best language to choose for many applications given the network effects and the fact that AI can program it so effectively, but I really wish we weren't locked into it. So many better, more fun, more tight, languages out there.
And all this effort to eek out performance. Get off my lawn etc.
