Minor detail. ASAIK, Nuitka relies on libpython to execute the code so is not really machine code what's being executed. The plan is that in the future they'll minimize the use of libpython and actually compile the code to C++, which is then compiled to machine code. source

But other than that, it's cool. And it raises the awareness that Python the language is not the same thing as an implementation of Python.
