Even with PyPy, or Python libraries that are themselves written in C?
- mrtranscendence 4y agoPyPy won't be a candidate in some scenarios (nor is it always that much faster), and even libraries written in C leave some performance on the table when Python is the glue language. Don't get me wrong, I'm hardly ever in a position where Python limits me from a performance perspective ... there's always Cython. But it could be better.
- masklinn 4y agoThere's also a new kind on the block with mypyc, though it's pretty much pre-alpha and I assume it comes with a very long list of limitations.
