Before making Yet Another Language, I'd like to see a good analysis of the options and trade-offs they offer: what does each design choice make easier and harder. There is probably no free lunch, but maybe we can find a better lunch by balancing things carefully.

For me it's pretty simple. I love Python. I like speed. I like embedded. This is an attempt to take advantage of Python's type hints to create fast and hopefully small binaries that can be executed on embedded devices limited amount of resources (both CPU and RAM).

There are probably other languages that would serve the same purpose, but oh well, I can't resist creating another. =)

Have you look at mypyc?

https://github.com/python/mypy

Its a compiler that support subset of python and mypy's team including Guido work on it. It would be great if this kind of efforts have been done on more realistic project.
