This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Python

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • PyO3

    Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

  • Rust is a very good complement for Python. Projects like PyO3 are very simple to use.

  • Cython

    The most widely used Python to C compiler

  • If your main interest is optimizing the slow bits of your Python code, Cython https://cython.org/ might also be a good fit for you. It's designed to let you write 99% of your code in regular Python while allowing you to optimize the one or two slow loops that take up most of your execution time in C or C++ code.

  • 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.

  • v

    Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io

  • Vlang also exists. It's not fake or "vaporware" (another ludicrous smear), and has more than a hundred releases that produces working programs (download and see).
