Just a quick question, can a programming language be as fast as C++ and efficient with as simple syntax like Python?

    The Julia Programming Language

    • Julia comes to mind. Probably not as fast as C++, but feels like python (without the huge userbase and tons of libraries).

  • Nim

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • OpenBLAS

    OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version.

    • Sure - write functions in another language, export C bindings, and then call those functions from Python. An example is NumPy - a lot of its linear algebra functions are implemented in C and Fortran.
