Working with a variety of AI models (Claude, Grok Build, various locally run models) and agents, I am scratching an itch.

When people deploy python and perl code, they have to either export their entire environment, or build a container. The latter is not possible in a number of deployment cases, and the former carries all manner of dependency radius gotchas.

So I am building (ok, I am prompting/testing/reviewing, the agent is doing the heavy lift) compilers for each of python 3.14.x [1] right now, and perl 5.42.x [2], that can generate static code.

Early stages, perlc does work well, pyc is a work in progress.
