Python is fast enough for everything I’ve used it for decades and Cython and Rust are there for when it isn’t. Your performance needs are not typical.

- procaryote 1y agoOh I use it too, just not for anything that needs to scale at all Cython is a bit of a non-starter for a web context as you're essentially writing C with extra sugar, and can get C style vulnerabilities.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoSecond paragraph is not really true, unless you’ve gone out of your way. Cython is used primarily for compute-bound problems, not processing user input.
- procaryote 1y agoSo as long as you're using it properly and diligently filter all user input before it hits your cython, and don't make any mistakes it's fine?
