Cython

• My Experiences with Julia

  Cython has long been an interesting alternative here - a gradually typed amalgam of Python & C that lets you write/compile Python extension modules without needing to learn much of the CPython API. You can even use --embed to compile your whole script file and -X infer_types.verbose=True to let you know where types are dynamic/implicit rather than declared. Several big core packages like scipy use this as well.

  Personally, I prefer Nim [2] which has more compile-time meta-programming support, is strongly typed from the outset, and has a lot of syntactic flexibility like UFCS, and many other goodies.

• Python vs. JavaScript: Is It a Fair Comparison?
  3 projects | dev.to | 15 May 2022

  There are ways to optimize Python’s performance by taking advantage of the fact that it uses the C programming language under the hood. For example, NumPy comes with optimized C code that makes Python code faster. Cython is a compiler, and a superset of the Python language that enables developers to build fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.

  It depends on what "graduate" means (I note your "scare quotes"). For some lexical styles matter a lot and it is easier to answer this question with that kind of constraint.

  While its ecosystem is surely much smaller than even Julia's, Nim [1] has a lot of the concise, lexical feel of Python, but semantics more like Modula3/Ada and with Lisp-like syntax macros/metaprogramming to fill in other gaps.

  Another possibility is Cython [2] which is basically a superset of Python with gradual typing.

  Either look at Cython, or try obfuscating the code then using pyinstaller to create an executable.

• How should I structure a Python package that contains Cython code
  1 project | reddit.com/r/codehunter | 29 Mar 2022

  I'd like to make a Python package containing some Cython code. I've got the the Cython code working nicely. However, now I want to know how best to package it.

  Oh no I am aware of that, it was praised for its easiness, readability and "pythonic way", then adopted by data scientists, which in turn took a direction to create more performant compiled code and have the ability to be used as an intermediate scripting layer to lower level languages.

• Why You Should Use Python For Your Next Project

  Still, it is worth mentioning that some libraries like NumPy, which is a library for scientific computing with Python, have some parts written in C, making it fast. It is always better to do the heavy computation in low-level languages such as C or C++, but their syntax and complexity might not be suitable for large projects. Therefore, some parts of Python libraries are written in C/C++ to make them faster and much more straightforward for data scientists, data analysts, and others. If you are looking for high performance in your code, consider Cython, which gives you C-like performance with code mostly written in Python.
