Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Taichi Lang: A high-performance parallel programming language embedded in Python
-
I compared the performance of numerical computations facilitated by different acceleration toolkits... And here are the results!
In fact, Taichi's compiler relies on heavy underlying engineering to enable high performance. In the aforementioned code snippet, the summation is actually an atomic operation, which cannot be parallelized and is thus subject to limited operation efficiency. The most commonly used method of parallel computing optimization in vector summation is reduction, which is one of the must-have skills to learn parallel computing. The benchmark report concludes that, thanks to automatic reduction optimization implemented by its compiler, Taichi achieves a performance comparable to manually implemented CUB and way better than Numba.

Sure, here are some benchmarks that could be helpful: https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi_benchmark

ETH Zürich uses Taichi Lang in its Physically-based Simulation course (AS 21)
Some are uncertain about Taichi Lang's performance against other frameworks such as CUDA, and would require a comprehensive benchmarking report. Actually, we published a systematic benchmarking report when we released Taichi Lang v1.0.0. Taichi has more or less comparable performance to CUDA. But, for sure, you will have much fewer lines of code with Taichi Lang!

Python 3.13 Gets a JIT
It exists, was created by microsoft employees, and is referenced in the article: https://www.trypyjion.com/

Is anyone using PyPy for real work?
I've actually come across and started using Pyjion recently (https://github.com/tonybaloney/pyjion); how does Pypy compare, both in terms of performance and purpose? There seems to be a lot of overlap...

Python is capable of doing things at runtime that are really hard to statically compile around, such as monkeypatching methods onto existing objects. You can compile it, but it's complicated. One strategy is to use a JIT that can observe application state at runtime and then invalidate code as it becomes obsoleted by changes, but it's complicated. See pyjion for an example.

Javascript has Typescript. WHY WE DONT HAVE TYPY !
When I say "Python" I am referring to the standard CPython interpreter which most people use. But there is also PyPy, which includes a Just In Time compile that compiles selected code into machine language on the fly, as needed. pyjion is another JIT compiler that generates machine language on the fly, and you can install it with pip. Or you could work for Facebook and use Cinder. Cython, Nuitka and Pyston are other alternatives.

CPython vs PyPy
Finally, there is also Pyjion which based on its website is “A drop-in JIT Compiler for Python 3.10” (https://www.trypyjion.com/). We will be covering it on a separate writeup. See you next time ;-).

Instant upvotes
Though some exciting stuff happening over the next few years, Python is getting faster, has been for awhile, and stuff like Pyjion https://www.trypyjion.com/, a drop in C# powered JIT compiler is starting to approach usable. Rust and Python seem to be best buds right now, so more extension libraries in rust, a newer more approachable language than say C/C++ but with a similar speed. Sign me up!

You think python is slow ?
Pyjion Easy to use, small compiler. Increase performance of our 🐌 CPython.
What are some alternatives?
faster-python-with-taichi
Numba - NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM
taichi - Productive, portable, and performant GPU programming in Python.
Nuitka - Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
