I prefer Julia to Python for many reasons, not only performance, but purely regarding performance I often wondered:
How much is the poor Python performance just a current state. In fact NUMBA can often take care if it in a very low-effort way. (a) What is numba lacking now, compared to Julia (performance-wise) (b) Would it be realistic to assume that a "Python 4" might be built on top of similar architecture as Julia and hence yield similar performance? Or is there something special about Julia's design? Thanks, Christoph
