  • CPython

    The Python programming language

  • FrameworkBenchmarks

    Source for the TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks project

    https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ is also usually a better suite of benchmarks as they generally try to utilize fuller applications rather than some specific hot-loop benchmark that usually isn't representative of common workloads for that particular runtime (though still good on it's own).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • PyO3

    Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

    Rust has py03 which lets you write bindings for python really easily, very cool. https://pyo3.rs/

  • It's fairly easy to make a multi-producer, multi-consumer, optionally-blocking queue using std::mutex + std::condition_variable. This is not a bad start https://github.com/ScottKaiGu/Implementing-a-Thread-Safe-Queue-using-Condition-Variables/blob/master/concurrent_queue.hpp
