Codon for Faster Python Code

Interesting. Unsure if Condon helps with async or threaded applications, though. Probably most useful for linear number-crunching scientific or data science applications.

Regular interpreted Python is pretty fast as is. I encountered at least one race condition issue, where the Python code was beating an API having low double-digit msec response times - was that a surprise! 😄

There's also Cython, which compiles to C, but this is a new approach which is at least as fast (or faster!)
