Cython is great, but I question that it is a *Python* implementation.
That's not a criticism of Cython, but it is different from Python. Take
this example code from the tutorial:
from libc.math cimport sin
cdef double f(double x):
return sin(x*x)
If that's Python code, then I'm Ethel the Aardvark.
Cython is very Python-like, but there is no doubt in my mind that it is a
superset of Python and therefore a different language.
I agree so it's off topic and can't be discussed here. Isn't that
right, Stefan?
