MIT-Created Compiler Speeds up Python Code
https://thenewstack.io/why-does-python-keep-getting-more-popular-github-knows-whats-up/, https://thenewstack.io/veteran-c-developer-says-python-is-best-starter-language/. It’s also an interpreted language, which makes it easy to use but slower than a compiled language such as C or C++.
That led them to an unusual approach: compiling Python with a tool they created, with an MIT team, called https://github.com/exaloop/codon. “It gives you a lot more flexibility to do interesting things and generate optimized code, and things like that,” Shajii said.
The MIT team tested Codon on approximately ten commonly used genomics applications, all written in https://thenewstack.io/7-must-have-python-tools-for-ml-devs-and-data-scientists/ and compiled using Codon.
