Not static AOT, not creating tiny binaries that fit on a microcontroller.

There is a lot of stuff out there that goes in this direction. There is nukita (again no small binaries), there is even an abandoned GCC frontend that can compile some minimal examples, but has been abandoned long ago.

Seriously, the time I spent researching this topic - if a proper compiler engineer would spend that on the actual compiler, it'd be done by now.

Seeing as that page states the resulting executables still require numpy, I'd guess it was the static requirement that it misses.
