Show HN: Python at the Speed of Rust
Python is the most popular programming language in the world. It is an extremely simple and accessible language, making it the go-to choice for developers across numerous domains. It is used in everything from introduction to computer science classes; to powering the AI revolution we're all living through. However, Python's
Second, it is incredibly difficult to embed Python-powered functions (e.g. Numpy, PyTorch) into cross-platform consumer applications (e.g. web apps, mobile). Hardware vendors like Nvidia provide specialized instructions that perform the FMA in a single step, reducing computational overhead and improving numerical precision. Our compiler is still a proof-of-concept, but with it our design partners have been shipping applications into production, powering everything from monocular depth estimation to realtime pose detection.
