Python-based compiler achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups

• cinder

  43 3,375 9.4 Python

  Cinder is Meta's internal performance-oriented production version of CPython. (by facebookincubator)

  

Have a look at Cinder - https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder - it's Meta's performance oriented fork of CPython that they use to run Instagram (which is a big Django app).

Well, perhaps not 100x in rps, but 10x sure:

Overall top performing frameworks (JS, Java, and Rust) at 650K rps. That's 7x.

Top Python based framework: 86K rps.

A very popular Python framework (flask): 2K rps. That's 325 times worse to the best.

And that's the "single DB query" benchmark: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&tes...

• Nuitka

  94 10,835 10.0 Python

  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.

  

So the differences:

https://docs.exaloop.io/codon/general/differences

So more limited types (integers) and more type checking and collections have to have one kind of thing in them.

There are other python compilers though, like https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

I wonder really what the advantages/disadvantages of these are?

• Cython

  79 8,912 9.8 Python

  The most widely used Python to C compiler

  

• codon

  34 13,840 7.9 C++

  A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM

  

nit: 'Python-based' would imply to me that it's written in Python, but it looks like it's mostly C++ & LLVM:

• aggie

  1 5 10.0 Python

  static typed programming language using python-like syntax

I did a similar demo project five years ago when I was learning compiler theory. And it was implemented by Python.
