Pyjion – A Python JIT Compiler
Why is there so little mention of https://cython.org/ ?
It's very fast, it compiles to C code, then compiles the C code with a normal compiler.
-
Python interpreter written in rust reaches 10000 commits
There's also Cython "The most widely used Python to C compiler"
-
why can't you compile an interpreted language?
You absolutely can. For example, here's a compiler for Python. Note, though, that this compiler extends the Python language with static types to enable more efficient compilation - if you wanted to compile standard Python code, the compiler would either have to generate code to cover every possible case, or statically determine what types a variable may have (a problem which is undecidable in general).
-
Can python be as fast as some other languages?
You can use a superset language of python called cython that generate C code. It can be used to generate C bindings or fast python (for cpython) modules implemented in a python like code.

-
How is python able to use c code?
The Python compiler and bytecode interpreter are both written in C. This makes it relatively easy to add custom C modules to the runtime. Cython is the best place to start.
-
Is there a language that converts to C++ that allows you to make your life easier with the syntax?
Well you can use Cython transpile certain Python to C code, albeit it still needs the Python runtime and a lot of other stuff, so it isn't really a direct conversion.
-
Static typing like C
Technically speaking, there's been some discussion for adding PEP-484-style type hint support for Cython which would have an impact on performance, but that's a whole different beast.

Let's create the real pure cython..
Cython is already a thing. It's a version of Python with type annotations that can be used to create bindings to existing C or C++ libraries. It has reasonably good support for numpy so I've used it for a few performance critical applications.
-
Cython plans to remove compile-time features
Cython plans to remove the compile-time conditionals aka IFs (analogous to #ifdef), and it is possible that compile-time definitions aka DEFs (analogous to #define) will suffer the same fate.

How much faster is C compared to Python? I'm currently coding a SAT solver algorithm that will have to take millions of input data, and I was wondering if I should switch from Python to C.
Might wanna take a look into https://cython.org/

Should I learn C instead of C++ if 'exe' file sizes are important to me? Scared by the 3MB "Hello World.exe" file size made by C++ :(
Have you considered Cython?
-
eli5 How come the C languages don’t need a VM?
You can, and there already exists a compiler for Python.
