I like the focus on having a clean and simple build and implementation.

I’m unclear however on what kind of performance improvements can be expected. The speaker mentions a benchmark against luaJit that was 35% slower as well as some others, but I didn’t pick up on any estimates specific to Python. Maybe lua and Python are similar enough, I personally don’t know.
