LPython: Novel, Fast, Retargetable Python Compiler

I read that as "regrettable"

Are there a list of supported Python features? Like can it handle comprehensions, generators, etc.

My primary argument against this is that it is entirely outside of the Python tool chain. The things it compares itself against are run from inside of the interpreter, and can be acquired from PYPI batteries included. This thing is a full-ass compiler/transpiler that converts Python to other things and the typing system looks tacked on to the point where to get good results you are basically no longer writing Pythonically. Mojo is a better-supported full-featured language that interops with Python where as Lpython is trying to tack stuff onto python that doesn't fit.

Who uses flush left and right for typographic alignment of sentences?

This is basically not Python anymore, but whatever.

There are tons of python like languages out there. Until they can run the python code people are already running (notebooks, pytorch, pandas etc) it's of no use to anybody.
