> *2560x2048 would be awesome (...) Two of those side by side would be perfect. You have just turned two 5:4 monitors into a 10:4 monitor - and the closest format to that exists in a form of current 21:9 monitors, with acceptable prices.

If you would like 10-100x faster performance than Python, but would like to keep the easy-to-read code, give Nim [0] a try. I do all my work in Python, and I've been using Nim in last couple of months - it took me a week or two until I
