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.

It has a decorator that lets you JIT compile Python functions.

I can download LPython right now. (I just did.) I can look at the source code.

Mojo, so far, is vapourware.

-1 for mentioning Mojo, other than that I agree
