This kind of statement raises eyebrows. Nowadays compiler backends like LLVM are able to perform extremely potent optimizations (probably much more potent than any niche tool like pysoniq or Cython will ever manage on their own). Stating that the way you achieve good performance is by avoiding LLVM (or another high-level compiler backend such as gcc) and going straight to assembly is extremely peculiar, to say the least. Of course, you may have achieved a major breakthrough on your own and leapfrogged proven compiler technology. But it's reasonable to remain a bit skeptical at this point.
