Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

Asked on Twitter why a paper is coming out now, 15 years after NumPy's creation, Stefan van der Walt of the University of California at Berkeley's Institute for Data Science, one of the article's ...

There is a phenomenon in the Python programming language that affects the efficiency of data representation and memory. I call it the "invisible line." This invisible line might seem innocuous at ...

[Zoltán] sends in his very interesting implementation of a NumPy-like library for micropython called ulab. He had a project in MicroPython that needed a very fast FFT on a micro controller, and was ...

But in many cases, it doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. Properly optimized, Python applications can run with surprising speed—perhaps not as fast as Java or C, but fast enough for web ...
