   If said intensive math is currently written in Python, then rewriting it in CorePy will likely give a big speed boost. CPython does not compile down to machine code, so it can't do the optimizations that a full compiler can do. Now, if a p

   Would have been cooler using UTF-8 in the source. HTML escape feels like cheating. E2 98 83 FTW
