Are there languages with static types that compile to #Python the way #PureScript and #Elm compile to #JavaScript or how #Eta to #JVM or #F♯ to .NET CLR?
@22 There's a discussion on r/ProgrammingLanguages on this that's started yesterday. Apparently it's not very common no : https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/87rihj/compiling_to_python_byte_code/
@typochon Thank you! I think I knew that the the Python VM's bytecode was fluid but didn't know the AST was as well, so it'd be hard to play the games that TypeScript and Eta play. I'm sure there's also a huge social/serendipity angle (CoffeeScript unleashed so much creativity in the JavaScript space). Thanks for pointing this out! Lazyweb at work :)
