Make your Python scripts upto 100x faster by compiling them using Codon

No more "Python is a scripting language and CPython interprets them, that's why Python is slowwww" and no more "Python needs python executable to run"!

Codon is a Python compiler that compiles Python code to native machine code. Its high-performance and has no runtime overhead. Now you can run your python "scripts" 10-100x times faster; just like C or C++.

Furthermore, codon can "hide" your code from the customers peaking eyes by turning your scripts into an executable file.

Another great video Jadi. Thanks a lot :)

Hello Jadi! I would like to tell that I've been really enjoying your style of presentation, it's really well-structured and easy to listen. Thank you for your work!

From what I understood after using codon for an hour or so, codon is another language similar to python. It does not contain all standard library of python. You can't even import numpy into it. Also, it's not free and open source. You can only use it for non-commercial purposes. Great video, but I think codon in its current form has limited use.

Super cool, does it also work when you have multiple python modules (files), importing them etc. Is it able to create a single binary for all of those, or it just works for a single file script?

How is this more convenient than C++20/Boost or even Fortran03 with some libraries? I don't see it. With C++ you have a state-of-the-art IDE, hundreds of battle tested libraries and outstanding performance. How is this more productive than C++ with an appropriate library/framework?

Cool, but unfortunately Codon as of now, does not create native windows executables. Does not look like a priority to them, but is on the roadmap i think.
