How to handle unknown identifiers when parsing?
Yeah, I'd go with this too. I handle this in Tonic by doing a hoisting pass that just birngs all function definitions to the top of the AST. https://github.com/ryangjchandler/tonic/blob/main/src/passes/mod.rs

Python cruising on back of c++
The parent comment is referring to the primary Python interpreter and runtime, CPython, not to libraries. There are of course other Python implementations, but [the only C++ one](https://github.com/tekknolagi/skybison appears to be unsupported.

Faster CPython at PyCon, part one
Kind of! In my fork I run microbenchmarks on each PR. So you can see on, for example, https://github.com/tekknolagi/skybison/pull/456, that the change had a 3.6% improvement on the compilation benchmark. If you expand further, you can see a comparison with CPython 3.8. Unfortunately Skybison is still on 3.8.

Another NaN-based tagging strategy for dynamic programming languages
This is also the pointer tagging scheme from the Ghuloum paper. I did not design it. Another tagging scheme I did not design is the Skybison scheme, which uses 0bXXX...XX0 to tag integers and 0bXXX...001 to tag heap pointers. This makes heap reads very easy (bias by -1 in addressing mode).

wrench (tiny, fast, c-like interpreter): created a webpage and now looking for benchmark code
Skybison is a Python interpreter and I'm curious what the results look like. We also have some benchmarks in benchmarks/benchmarks.

Using Firecracker and Go to run short-lived, untrusted code execution jobs
If you take a look at the Skybison Python runtime, I would be happy to chat and help you poke around integrating it: https://github.com/tekknolagi/skybison

November 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I am, in fits and starts, writing a bytecode optimizer for Skybison that takes advantage of type information.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tonic and skybison you can also consider the following projects:
RustScript2 - RustScript is a functional scripting language with as much relation to Rust as Javascript has to Java.
aussieplusplus - Programming language from down under
lockdown - Lockdown is a general-purpose programming language that combines the positive characteristics of both "strongly-typed" and "dynamic" languages, giving the developer the choice about when and how these should be used.
Generic-C-DataStructures - A repository for code I wrote while learning to implement generic data structures in C
cib - clang running in browser (wasm)
protea - An in-progress programming language inspired by JavaScript.
Cwerg - The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.
gvisor - Application Kernel for Containers
