Cython was, of course, "modern and actually good Pyrex."
In the end the way the industry works guarantees a endless stream of these before some combination of boredom and rentiership result in each getting abandoned. It's just a question of whether Mojo lasts 1, 3, or god willing 5 years on top.
- sfpotter 3y agoIs it the way the industry works, or is the way open source works? Pyrex had basically one person behind it (again, from what I can tell), and Cython currently has ~1 major person behind it. Not enough manpower to support such large endeavors. Ideally, government or industry would get behind these projects and back them up. Evidently Microsoft is doing that for Python. For whatever reason, Cython and Pyrex both failed to attract that kind of attention. Hopefully it will be different with Mojo. Here's to 5 years!
