Sure, if Python were Ruby-like, it had `do` blocks, static typing, was compiled to native language with LLVM.

But yeah, it has "if", "class" and a not-great multithreading story like Python.

In the same way that a car and a boat are the same, but with small cosmetic differences.

It's more like a high-performance typed Ruby.

Can python compile to a binary with no extra tooling?

If shedskin becomes ready, that would be a contender. It's really cool, it converts Python to C++.

       end
      end

lol, I don't think so.

It’s the same in languages with C-Syntax.
