A missing tech here feels like TypeScript. It feels like the perfect mix of expressiveness and type safety for AI/ML work. I wish there was more tooling out there for it.

For me, Go feels too verbose, but I appreciate the static typing and performance. Python with its robust ecosystem and optional types feels okay, but the performance is really awful.

What about Python performance is awful in AI? All of the hard stuff is delegated to a C library or the GPU.

Python makes it hard to get this right. Simple idioms result in copies of large collections or other work shifting from C to Python. The state-of-the-art of Python profiling [1] has to target this problem to the exclusion of other concerns.

There's tons of glue code that gets written in Python.
