Interestingly, GvR seemed to be quite critical of it in his comment at
the end of this post:
https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/nuitka-the-python-compiler

Not sure why.  Nuitka is a very interesting little project.  If nothing
else, it might be a good way of providing an executable bundle for a
python-based program, and a little speed-up is a bonus.

I find it pretty interesting that he can statically compile a dynamic
language.
