Comparing a Rust extension to other methods of speeding up python

• ndarray_comparison

  3 24 0.0 Jupyter Notebook

  Benchmark of toy calculation on an n-dimensional array using python, numba, cython, pythran and rust

• nimpy

  38 1,416 5.8 Nim

  Nim - Python bridge

nimpy + nimporter is getting fairly mature. I've had my eye on the libraries for awhile now and I'm starting to seriously consider adding Nim to the build pipeline at werk.

• WorkOS

  The core types and functions of the SciNim ecosystem

  

I have never tried nim, but according to nimpy's README, it looks like you can work with Numpy arrays via the buffer protocol or scinim. I'd be curious to see how it performs.

  1 6 10.0 Julia

  Polynomials used in optics. Zernike, Legendre, etc

  

I gave Julia a rather serious try, converting the world's fastest numerical optics library to the language. It ended up being mildly faster (2-3x) for some things, but overall programs did not run meaningfully faster (and significantly slower when comparing jl to python on GPU -- I would have to write specializations of all the functions for GPU, which is a horrific prospect).
