That's a big if, though. Optimising Python is really hard – even Google gave up on their efforts to do it – and even with amazing projects like PyPy it's very unlikely it will ever have predictable C-like performance.
- Lofkin 11y agoIt already gets C like performance reasonably predictably. Its not a tracing JIT, like pypy...it restricts the dynamism of python to be able to do type inference. The thing is, we still don't have the beautiful julia type system, multiple dispatch, macros, better syntax for technical computing easy distribution etc
