Paolo RedaelliCodon: high-performance Python compiler
Codon is a high-performance Python implementation that compiles to native machine code without any runtime overhead. Typical speedups over vanilla Python are on the order of 10-100x or more, on a single thread. Codon’s performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++. Unlike Python, Codon supports native multithreading, which can lead to speedups many times higher still.
Think of Codon as Python reimagined for static, ahead-of-time compilation, built from the ground up with best possible performance in mind.
