Codon is very impressive, it feels a lot like Python without being slow like Python.

Don’t think of it as a Python compiler, it is its own language. (Esp. re choice of int == i64, this saves SO MUCH computation for the CPU.)

I will say though that I’m not sure where to use it yet, since it’s too immature for important projects and also aims at the “we need a nuclear bomb” level performance.
