Really? Cool.

I expected that dropping down to C/C++ would be a large jump in difficulty and quantity of code, but I've found it isn't, and the dev experience isn't entirely worse, as, for example, in-editor code-intelligence is rock solid and very fast in every corner of my code and the libraries I'm using.

If anyone could benefit from speeding up some Python code, I'd highly recommend installing cppyy and giving it a try.

Thanks, I haven’t come across cppyy! But I’ve worked with pybind11, which works well, too.

[ipsod]

Sure! I tried pybind11, and some other things. cppyy was the first I tried that didn't give me any trouble. I've been using it pretty heavily for about a year, and still no trouble.

Last I checked cppyy didn't build any code with optimisations enabled (same as cling)

[ipsod]

It seems like you might be able to enable some optimizations with EXTRA_CLING_ARGS. Since it's based on cling, it's probably subject to whatever limitations cling has.

To be honest, I don't know much about the speed, as my use-case isn't speeding up slow code.
