For people googling, not that mark shannon:

That mark shannon:

https://github.com/markshannon

He tried to do hotpy in 2011, and trigger the idea of FAT byte code which I believed inspired the FAT python attempt of Victor Stinner.

Now stinner is working on Hpy, dropbox on pyston, instagram on cinder, and pyjion just got a release.

Looks like Python is going to get faster one way or another.
