Maybe not the kernel since JS needs a runtime at least, but there is https://node-os.com/ based on the linux kernel. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Https://cython.org can help with that. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

The approach that I favour is to use Cython. The nice thing with this approach is that your code is still written as (almost) Python, but so long as you define all required types correctly it will automatically create the C extension for you. Early versions of Cython required using Cython specific typing (Python didn't have type hints when Cython was created), but it can now use Python's type hints. Source: about 1 year ago

Profile and optimize the hotspots with cython (or whatever the cool kids are using these days... It's been a while.). Source: about 1 year ago

JIT essentially means generating machine code for the language on the fly, either during loading of the interpreter (method JIT), or by profiling and optimizing hotspots (tracing JIT). The language itself can be statically or dynamically typed. You could also compile a dynamic language ahead of time, for example, cython. Source: about 1 year ago
