I used to work on a project the used gevent. I'd almost describe it as monkey-patched async io. It's scary-clever.

Maybe there could be a subset of Python that removes the hyper dynamic parts so it can be compiled to something faster. Maybe I'm just describing Go.

What you’re describing is essentially Static Python (mentioned in the readme)
