I wonder whether a more restricted form of Python would not be acceptable
in situations where speed is critical. I mean, instead of cl-python, that
tries to mimic the semantic of Python closely, the Lisp community could
write a compiler for the subset of Python that the majority of people

Python is much more dynamic than Racket. As an illustration, look at a simple
operation: addition. In Racket,
(+ a b)

I am trying to understand why is so difficult to implement fast compilers
for languages like Python and Ruby. In particular, I wrote a few programs
in Racket, SBCL, and Python (PyPy). Most of these benchmarks deal with
number crunching (like simplex method and solving linear equations), list
