Python 3.11 is much faster than 3.8

• bun

  288 70,488 10.0 Zig

  Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

Deno (a v8-based runtime) has the same thing: https://deno.land/[email protected]/runtime/ffi_api

These use the standard C-ABI directly without requiring headers (unlike Python).

Node.js standardized a more Python-like C API called Node-API: https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html

  15 1,121 2.2 TypeScript

  Fast Differentiable Tensor Library in JavaScript and TypeScript with Bun + Flashlight

  

You can expose objects. Here's how it is done in Bun: https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai/blob/main/shumai/...

We've been using this feature heavily in Shumai.

I think you are vastly overestimating the complexity associated with this (user exposed ref-counting/garbage collection) and may not be totally up to date on what's implemented.

>For instance, for most web apps, you spend a large amount of time waiting on database responses.

Still, for web apps there are still huge gaps based on language and framework used.[0]

• equinox

  31 1,809 9.2 Python

  Elegant easy-to-use neural networks + scientific computing in JAX. https://docs.kidger.site/equinox/

+1 for JAX. Basically designed to be the successor to TensorFlow, and much nicer to work with. Strangely I've not seen it discussed around HN much but it's what I do 100% of my work in these days.

Whilst I'm here: shameless self-promotion for Equinox and Diffrax:

Which are neural network and differential equation libraries for JAX.

Checking here, if we go by pushes on GitHub, JS, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP are the top for 2021.

This is of course biased to only stuff on GitHuband public (assuming, but doubt they're publishing private data on BigQuery).

No idea how much of that is pet projects vs production of course.
