What's the best number on vLLM and SGlang so far on H100? It's sad that MLPerf takes a long time to catch up to SOTA models.

My cursory reading is that SPy is generous in what it accepts. The subset I've been working with is even narrower. Given my stance on pattern matching, it may not even be a subset. https://github.com/py2many/py2man

That assumes python is one monolithic thing and everyone agrees what it is. True, the view you express here has strong support in the community and possibly in the steering committee. But there are differing ideas on what python is and why

The most interesting part of this article is the link to SPy. Attempts to find a subset of python that could be made performant.

I see some discussion here about protobufs being widely used and preventing innovation because it's good enough and comes from Google. I see a second effect that's probably more regressive: using protobufs (designed for RPC) as a

The most relevant topic in this space is: processors got wider, more speculative etc. But if you measure IPC across a wide range of workloads it way less than 1 instruction per cycle. Talking about this to software engineers (this is pre vi

I like mojo for being closer to python than other systemsy languages. But asking people to learn another language and migrate is a tall barrier. Why not write python and transpile to mojo?

Vlang is a much more active go variant with nil safety. But it gets a lot of hate in PL circles for reasons I don't completely understand.

You described the thinking behind py2many. Code in the spirit of rust with python syntax and great devx. Give up on C-API and backward compat with everything. Re: lifetimes Py2many has a mojo backend now. You can infer lifetimes for simple

Or a better python layer on python. People asking why statically typed python: consider that it's the #1 language on GitHub (assume ts and js are different) and LLMs are really good at generating it.
