I always hate how these things are phrased. The idea of “using a lot of memory” doesn’t exist in a vacuum. “A lot” relative to what? Do you require run-time dynamic typing features? Do you want to leverage the Python data model? If yes, then this is the memory cost of your desires. Advice in many of the comments about other languages sounds so tone deaf. The question is not about using less memory. It’s about getting _exactly_ the feature set of Python while using less memory.
