Why is C++ faster than python?

  56 18,876 9.6 Crystal

  The Crystal Programming Language

  

  There are "easy" compiled languages, eg Crystal (based on Ruby), as well as compilers for Python (PyPy). But they're not really used that much, at least from what I've seen, since the ubiquity of libraries and projects for existing languages lead most people to gravitate towards them.

• HVM

  28 6,653 0.0 Rust

  A massively parallel, optimal functional runtime in Rust

  

  There is progress being made on extremely fast, managed (this usually means easier from the perspective of the programmer) languages. The HVM is promising , although obviously focused on functional programming. Vale looks quite amazing, although it's still in progress and it's future performance is not really proven. Lobster works pretty well even now. And for an imperative (and multiparadigm), GC/RC/GenRef-free, memory safe language, we already have something production ready: Rust. Although I doubt many people would call rust "easy to use".
