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

This is a good place to mention https://nuitka.net/ which aims to compile python programs into standalone binaries. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

For Python, you could make a proper deployment binary using Nuitka (in standalone mode – avoid onefile mode for this). I'm not pretending it's as easy as building a Go executable: you may have to do some manual hacking for more unusual unusual packages, and I don't think you can cross compile. I think a key element you're getting at is that Go executables have very few dependencies on OS packages, but with Python... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

There is already an AOT compiler for Python: Nuitka[0]. But I don't think it's much faster. And then there is mypyc[1] which uses mypy's static type annotations but is only slightly faster. And various other compilers like Numba and Cython that work with specialized dialects of Python to achieve better results, but then it's not quite Python anymore.

Nuitka deals pretty well with those in general: https://nuitka.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Have a look at Nuitka, which is a "real" Python compiler into C. It uses CPython in its backend and should be completely compatible to "regular" Python. The compiled code can, but does not have to improve performance. It's probably worth looking into. Source: about 1 year ago
