in short - funding. If we can find someone who wants fast numpy AND fast python under the same hood, we can combine the approaches of cpyext and numpypy and make it fast. The project is just too big to do on spare time. I've been trying to find some funding for that for quite a while, but I haven't been able to find any sizable backer just yet.

Cheers, Maciej Fijalkowski

Maciej, how much would that require, ballpark? I think this is something there would be massive support for. My company would support it

Hi

I would say, ballpark, $100k. Email me at fijal at baroquesoftware.com

EDIT: the actual figure depends precisely on what you want, which parts of the stack have to be exactly how fast etc.

How much does it cost to pay a knowledgeable engineer for a few years? Probably the better part of a million dollars, at least.

Is your name Maciej?

Is this a private correspondence?

When I go to the numpypy page, it says I can't donate directly to numpypy efforts.

How do I get involved?
