  1. Cython. CPython is the standard implementation written in C, to differentiate itself from JPython and IronPython.

  2. That's due to Scrum making every issue take multiples of two weeks, and only hiring the cheapest devs, because "more is better" even though that makes the useless Scrum meetings take even longer.

  3. @TenFrenchMathematiciansInACoat CPython is the standard implementation, it's written in C but doesn't include a JIT like PyPy or static compiler like Cython, Nuitka, RPython, etc.

  4. Written in Fortran, for Python, because it's short and Jupyter notebooks are executable papers.

  5. The Python language is faster to read and write than C. How fast and efficient they run depends on the interpreter and compiler.

  6. Also Bend, which forks loops onto CUDA cores.

  7.  @bloepje  Python is probably the most easy to understand. What else do you use? I found VanillaJS getting hard to keep track of past 1000 lines in my chess program.

  8.  @lorenzomonacelli  Cython works with standard Python type annotations, and Mojo if not typed probably infers types before compilation.

  9.  @steve55619  Which is why you should benchmark on the same hardware.

  10. Like you said, Basic is outdated. Visual Basic dotNet is basically C# with different syntax.

  11. Rust avoids many costly bugs that can occur in less safe languages. It might even have a formal prover like Spark Ada, which was designed for mission-critical applications like weapons and satellites.

  12. Mojo isn't fully optimized yet. Dictionaries are still slower than Python's.
