  • PythonIsNotSlow

    Simple program to benchmark C vs pure Python vs Numpy vs Cython.

  • NumPy

    The fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

    Github gives an overview of the languages used in a package (by lines of code?), for numpy it's as follows:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • SciPy

    SciPy library main repository

    This is not that uncommon for performant python packages. Another example: scipy is 19% Fortran and 17% C.

  • julia

    The Julia Programming Language

    Why don't we use a tool made specifically for this job?

  • Primes

    Prime Number Projects in C#/C++/Python

    And here's the github repo.

  • oc2

    RISC-V VMs in Minecraft.
